Another one, led by researchers at Mount Sinai, suggested that chatbots may fail to alert users to potential medical emergencies.

- Eighty percent of doctors are already using AI tools in their job, according to a 2026 survey by the American Medical Association
- Although Rodman’s research shows that generative AI can help diagnose rare diseases or make sense of unusual symptoms, a randomized trial that was published in NEJM AI the week before found
- Part of the problem is that health-related AI products can be deployed without any vetting by officials at the FDA
