Nearly one-third of adults in the US are now using AI tools for health information every month.

But convenience comes with important questions: How reliable is the information? What happens when AI doesn’t have the full context of a patient’s health history? And when does a seemingly simple question cross into medical advice?

In this month’s Ask the Doc column in The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus Medical Association Board Member Andrew Detty, MD, takes a practical look at how patients are using AI for health questions, where it may be useful, and where physician guidance remains essential.

He also shares important considerations for accuracy, privacy, source-checking, and how patients can use AI to better prepare for conversations with their physician — without letting it replace those conversations altogether.

To state the obvious, artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere – and use for health information is no exception. People are increasingly seeking health information and advice from AI.
