New and important legal test case for genAI giving medical advice https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/well/openai-chatgpt-health-lawsuit.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zlA.HVEN.1sKog4CyduzV&smid=url-share @teddyrosenbluth
This is so dumb. FL pastor Scott Winters is suing OpenAI for “extremely dangerous medical recommendations” that led to delayed medical care. The kicker? Early in the conversation, the chatbot told him to seek medical attention but he didn’t. It’s called multi-turn sycophancy.
@EricTopol @teddyrosenbluth Dr @EricTopol do you think that patient facing genAI tools should only be grounded in rules guided by physicians ? Or patients should only use approved tools for health advice? Risks like exemplified in this case can be scary..
@EricTopol @teddyrosenbluth Fascinating inflection point. The liability question feels impossible to answer cleanly until regulators decide whether to treat these systems as tools, publishers, or quasi-providers.
@EricTopol @teddyrosenbluth Regulations need to be made
@EricTopol @teddyrosenbluth Super excited and thrilled to see this validated! The best is yet to come! 👏👏👏
@EricTopol @teddyrosenbluth How can a chatbot fail or reach the standard of care when it does not claim to or promote itself as a physician?
