AI Chatbots Struggle to Answer Menopause Questions Accurately, Study Reveals

New research shows artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are not always accurate for health advice. A study tested how well major AI models answered common menopause questions. The findings suggest a low accuracy rate overall.

Experts noted that some models performed better than others. For example, specific models like GPT-4o often delivered precise and clinically aligned information. However, other popular chatbots struggled. They often gave responses that lacked organization, empathy, or necessary clinical depth.

The study’s main conclusion is clear. Patients and clinicians should always confirm AI-generated answers with reliable, expert sources. While AI shows great promise for women’s health research, it has limitations now. Researchers warn that users cannot fully trust AI for sensitive medical topics yet. The consensus is that AI is a tool, not a substitute, for professional medical advice
