ChatGPT could boost vaccine uptake by debunking jab safety myths: Study

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT, could help to increase vaccine uptake by debunking myths around the safety of jabs, according to a study.

In the study published in the journal Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics, the researchers asked the top 50 most frequently-asked Covid-19 vaccine questions. They included queries based on myths and fake stories such as the vaccine causing Long Covid.

The researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain found that ChatGPT scored nine out of 10 on average for accuracy. The rest of the time it was correct but left some gaps in the information provided.
