Will AI become an indispensable medical partner, or will barriers hinder its adoption? This article explores AI’s expanding role, its impact on healthcare professionals, and the road ahead.

Can ChatGPT become your new health advisor – or even your therapist? Generative AI tools are changing how we access health information, offering speed and convenience like never before. But alongside the benefits come real risks. This article explores the promise and pitfalls of AI in non-clinical health settings.

The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is closely tied to human cognitive abilities – mental processes that determine how we interpret, evaluate, and respond to AI-generated information. Understanding this interplay is essential for designing AI systems that align with human cognition, enhancing user engagement while reducing risks such as automation bias (the tendency to overtrust AI outputs) and cognitive overload (the state in which information exceeds mental capacity). In this article, we introduce the concepts of working memory, cognitive flexibility, and attention and explore how they shape the way we interact with AI. We illustrate how these cognitive functions influence...
