Fake AI 'Doctors' Spread False Medical Advice in Videos on Social Media

Videos of fake AI-generated "doctors" are spreading false medical advice on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. These bots often appear credible by wearing lab coats and stethoscopes.

The videos make unsupported claims about natural remedies, like chia seeds curing diabetes or almonds healing brain disease. Experts confirm these claims are false.

The videos aim to sell products/services or portray authority. India is a hotspot for health misinformation spread through social media.

AI impersonation of doctors is concerning as it conveys medical authority. In the future, AI could produce real-time fake doctor responses.

AI has risks but is increasingly used to help doctors analyze medical images and data. Users should check sources and remain skeptical of medical advice from unknown origins.
