The consequences of hallucinations in medical chatbots can be severe, including misinformation in health advice that may lead to misunderstandings or incorrect self-diagnosis. This misinformation can extend to scheduling appointments, insurance coverage, billing, or medical records, leading to significant complications. There are also legal implications, such as non-compliance with medical guidelines or regulations, which can result in fines, penalties, or lawsuits. Frequent hallucinations can erode users’ trust in the technology, potentially reducing its adoption and effectiveness in healthcare settings.
