Artificial intelligence has great potential in the healthcare sector. But you shouldn’t blindly trust the technology there either. The World Health Organization warns of significant risks – and not just in terms of data protection.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine can lead to treatment errors, misinformation, or misuse of data.
For all the enthusiasm about possible applications of artificial intelligence, the United Nations body is now calling for these technologies to be used responsibly.
AI applications such as ChatGPT, which access massive amounts of data, can help spread health information or generate diagnoses. The World Health Organization has expressed concern that the usual precautions against new technologies will not be implemented consistently in the case of artificial intelligence.
Possible completely wrong answers
Large speech-based AI models built like neural networks produce seemingly professional responses, according to the World Health Organization. “However, these answers can be completely wrong or contain gross errors, especially when it comes to health,” the organization warned.
According to the World Health Organization, AI technology can also be abused to disguise disinformation as seemingly legitimate content. The WHO also fears that AI systems will access sensitive health data without permission.
According to the World Health Organization, AI should only be used in the medical field when reliable data is available about the benefits of the technology.
