British Medical Association: Misleading “AI doctors” pose a major threat to public safety - IT之家

The Guardian reported that TikTok is seeing a surge of AI-generated “doctor” accounts posting dubious health advice in realistic doctor-like personas.

Researchers found some videos spread debunked cancer rumors and bizarre remedies; AI-generated content made up a large share of top health videos.

Several of the misleading videos have already been removed by the platform.

Medical groups and public-health experts warn the trend could mislead users and pose real safety risks, calling for stronger platform oversight.
