PRINCE GEORGE – While AI-powered tools can offer initial assessments and point out potential conditions based on symptoms, experts warn that these systems should not replace professional medical diagnoses. It’s best to view them as a starting point instead of a conclusive answer.

AI technology has been around for several years and is used by individuals in various ways. As this technology has evolved, some people have started to rely on it for medical diagnoses.

Dr. Ben Daniel, a Professor in the UNBC Computer Science Department, believes that AI can be beneficial when individuals work in tandem with their healthcare providers to gather information.

Dr. Ben Daniel emphasizes that relying solely on artificial intelligence for diagnosis isn’t fully validated yet, and significant advancements are needed before it can serve as an independent tool in medical assessments.
