Oxford Study Warns of AI use in Creating Social Care Plans
Summary
On March 10, 2024, the Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI warned that social care organizations’ reliance on chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard to create care plans for recipients presented a number of potential risks, including to patient confidentiality, reliance on faulty or wrong information and substandard output by chatbots. At the same time, one research fellow from the study noted its benefits, such as aid with the “administrative heavy work” and allowing “people to revisit care plans more often.”
