Questions about AI accuracy remain, however, and may be complicated by unpredictable outputs and changes in performance over time. Recent research also suggests that how health claims are presented may affect how people respond to them, beyond the accuracy of the underlying information. People may place more trust in information from an AI chatbot that offers conversational responses, while presenting false claims as coming from an authoritative source may increase people’s willingness to share them.
