Quality and safety of artificial intelligence generated health information.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can generate helpful information quickly, but this commentary explores its potential to misinform if the materials created are incorrect. The authors explore the risks involved in AI-created health misinformation (AI hallucinations) or malicious forms of disinformation. They suggest vetting, robust citation use, data validation, and AI training efforts to minimize distribution of potentially dangerous AI-generated content.
