Abstract
ChatGPT is a prototype chatbot based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The program was developed to be able to converse with a human user in a number of different situations. This AI tool is, experimentally, also being applied to the medical context where it can potentially become an effective tool to support medical decision-making. This highlights a new paradigm of care that is increasingly being mediated by technology, and which leaves open many ethical and bioethical questions in the process. The purpose of this article is to analyze the risks and potential benefits of such a tool, as well as the possible drawbacks.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
