Occasionally, they may produce responses that sound confident but are inaccurate. In healthcare, even small inaccuracies can create confusion.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0why many organizations restrict free-text responses and rely on reviewed content instead.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Data Bias<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AI systems learn from data. If that data is limited or unbalanced, the output may reflect those gaps. For example, symptom interpretation might not perform equally across different age groups or demographics.

The chatbot should consistently remind users that it provides guidance, not medical diagnosis.<\/span><span
