Have your eyes ever felt sore and itchy after spending too much time staring at a screen?
You might have a condition known as Bixonomania.
Or at least that's what several popular AI-powered chatbots might have told you if you'd asked last year.
Millions of people around the world turn to AI chatbots for medical advice every day,
often as a supplement to a doctor's visit, but also sometimes in place of it.
That can lead to dangerous consequences, and in rare cases, even death.
Our guest today is Elmira Osmanovic-Tunström.
She's a researcher at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden
and at the Solgrenska University Hospital, Center for Digital Health, and Chalmers Industrotechnik.
She's also the creator of Bixonomania.
She says this totally made-up disease reveals some very real problems
with the way we train and use large language models.
Thank you so much for coming on to chat with us today.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
So you recently did an interesting project involving AI.
