Summary

More people are turning to AI chatbots with health questions, and they're getting quick, confident answers. But how much should you actually trust what AI tells you? In this episode, we hear from two doctors about whether AI can really help patients become more informed, and when you definitely still need a human doctor. You'll hear from both Dr. Matthew Callstrom from Mayo Clinic and Dr. Celine Gounder from CBS News and KFF Health News.
