Why do so many people use AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini—but still hesitate to trust them with health advice? In this episode, we explore a recent national survey from KFF and JAMA that uncovers the surprising disconnect between how often we use AI and how little we trust it in matters of health.

Topics Covered:

• Why only 5% of users are "very confident" in AI health advice

• How age influences both AI use and skepticism

• The role of familiarity bias and the need for empathy in healthcare

• Why data transparency and accountability are essential for trust

• What needs to change—education, regulation, and system design—for AI to earn our confidence
