Reliable Information and AI
Who, when, why
Who wrote it and what are their credentials? When was it written? Why was it written: to inform, or to sell? Reliable sources are clear on all three.
Trusted starting points
MedlinePlus, CDC, NIH, your state or county health department, and your own clinician. .gov and .edu sites are good starts but still check the date.
Red flags
Miracle cures, "doctors don't want you to know", products for sale on the same page, no author, no date, and claims that make you angry or afraid.
Reliable Information and AI continued
AI chatbots
AI can explain medical words, summarize information and help write questions for a visit. It can also be confidently wrong. Always confirm with a trusted source or the care team.
Keep it private
Do not type names, dates of birth, ID numbers or detailed health histories into public AI tools. Use general questions instead.
Words Navigators Use
False information shared without intent to harm.
False information shared on purpose to mislead.
A source with clear authorship, evidence and no hidden sales motive.
A computer program that answers questions in everyday language.
The viral cure
Mr. Harris shares a video claiming a supplement cures diabetes so he can stop his insulin.
