Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has entered our lives to revolutionize the world as we know it, streamlining processes and replacing jobs previously performed by humans. While for many it may represent a benefit and a tool to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of many activities, in the field of medicine, this is not entirely true. It must be acknowledged that AI has contributed many benefits to healthcare, from enabling early breast cancer detection by identifying lesions that would be invisible on mammograms, to predicting dementia, among many other advancements. While the immense utility of this tool cannot be denied, there is one issue in which it is not beneficial but rather detrimental— a truly concerning situation that has not been addressed: self-medication.
