@kathleen1314 @janna2, AI assistants, like CoPilot, can be helpful when searching for information about your health. When you ask an AI assistant a question or give it a prompt, it looks at the data and then gives back answers or suggestions in plain language. But the information AI assistants give you isn’t always 100% accurate—it depends on the data it was trained on and how your question or prompt was worded. AI tools can sound sure, even when they’re wrong. It's important to fact check.
You may appreciate the guidance and information posted in this blog:
- What is Generative AI? What does this mean on Mayo Clinic Connect? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/what-is-generative-ai-artificial-intelligence-what-does-this-mean-on-mayo-clinic-connect/
As per the Community Guidelines (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/)
If you share information from AI tools, follow these guidelines:
Share your real-life, first-hand experiences before you add AI content.
- Make conversation with others a priority over AI-generated replies.
- Always fact-check AI content. You are responsible for the accuracy and relevancy of your posts.
- Ask your AI tool to provide sources and citations.
- Include the question (prompt) you asked the AI tool.
- If you use AI, use only short, specific quotes from AI along with your personal experience. Avoid long AI-only posts.
- Be transparent if you use AI text to create your post.

Thanks Colleen, you are talking to the choir; I programmed for several years and was a research librarian and taught research skills.
I am not an AI expert, but I certainly am blessed to know more than most and strive to use AI responsibly. Which is easy to do since AI basically is just a tool to check all research and standard practices. In fact, to not use AI before we post may come to be the irresponsible use of media and eventually I believe that forums like Mayo may in the future recommend that a poster check their facts with AI before posting.
Still, that is in the future, and we are in a learning phase right now.
Thanks for the Community Guidelines, I had not seen those, and Mayo does have guidelines that aren't readily gleaned thru a common sense approach.
I use AI mainly to check my sources and research, unless of course, as here recently when asked about AI.
Ai has the potential to make life for all of us much better, but it depends on how we use it and how it is monitored within our legal system. Given how social media operates now I do have some concerns about how AI can be misused. I have already seen where AI google in particular is starting to refuse to provide information which it freely gave in previous questionings. This was driven by political concerns; that is a concern for me. The action to withhold information when afraid that it might counter political actions. and actually in this case I thought that the answer bolstered a recent Department of Health decision.
So a careful vetting of AI which it seems Mayo is trying to do makes good sense. 🙂
