OpenAI ends legal and medical advice on Chatgpt

[CanadianChick]

Lawyers and medical professionals must love this change, more business for them.

"OpenAI is changing its policies so that its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, won’t doll out medical or legal advice to users.

The change comes as users increasingly turn to artificial intelligence for personal problems about their mental and physical health.

The AI research company updated its usage policies on Oct. 29 to clarify that users of ChatGPT can’t use the service for “tailored advice that requires a license, such as legal or medical advice, without appropriate involvement by a licensed professional.”

The change is clearer from the company’s last update to its usage policies on Jan. 29, 2025. It required users not “perform or facilitate” activities that could significantly impact the “safety, wellbeing, or rights of others,” which included “providing tailored legal, medical/health, or financial advice.”

ChatGPT has quickly become a go-to tool for many Canadians searching for answers to their health problems."

Who need medical school if the answers are on ChatGPT.

There are still so many ways to find medical and legal opinions, it is not the end if you know where to look.
