The article discusses the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare communication, particularly through the MyChart platform. As physicians are overwhelmed by patient messages, AI is being utilized to draft replies, often without patients realizing that these responses may be partially or fully generated by software. While this technology may streamline communication, experts express concerns about the potential for errors in vital medical advice and the implications for doctor-patient trust.
