Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has said Americans should consult artificial intelligence rather than a doctor, prompting a warning from Dr Céline Gounder that the advice is a bad idea.
Mr Kennedy made the claim about using AI for health information. Dr Gounder rejected the suggestion and said people should not turn to artificial intelligence instead of medical professionals.
The disagreement centres on whether AI should be used as an alternative source of medical advice, with Mr Kennedy arguing that it is better informed than doctors and Dr Gounder opposing that approach.
