Woman dies after following ChatGPT's medical advice; doctor uses AI for prescriptions

Separately, a doctor in China was reportedly using an AI tool called 'Doubao' to assist in prescribing medication, though the hospital claims the AI was only used for information retrieval and the final decision rested with the physician.
