Researchers Find ChatGPT Health Misses Emergency Alerts

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai published a Nature Medicine study this week testing OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health, using 60 clinical scenarios and 960 interactions. They found the tool failed to recommend emergency care in 52% of serious cases and inconsistently flagged suicide-crisis risk. The authors urge independent evaluation, ongoing monitoring, and engineering safeguards for consumer-facing health AI.
