Welcome to this short course on the risks associated with artificial intelligence on the internet.

Do you appreciate the convenience and speed of finding health advice using artificial intelligence tools (e.g. ChatGPT or Gemini)?

With their professional-sounding language, they can seem incredibly reliable, can’t they?

It can generate dangerous, false information that threatens our health and even our lives.

In this course, we’ll explain how to distinguish safe advice from risky recommendations, and remind you why consulting a specialist is always essential when it comes to health matters.

Most importantly: in this course, you’ll learn simple rules for using artificial intelligence that will help protect yourself and your loved ones.
