SUMMARY:Understanding User Perception of AI Generated Dental Health Advice
DESCRIPTION:Halley Smith, Megan Sears, and Amro Khasawneh (Mercer Universi
 ty)\n\nThe increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) platf
 orms has changed how individuals access and interpret healthcare informati
 on online. However, reliance on AI has also increased concerns about the s
 pread of medical misinformation and users' ability to assess AI credibilit
 y. This research investigates how generative AI influences users’ judgment
  when evaluating health-related advice. This study compares user perceptio
 ns of AI-generated and expert-provided dental information. Participants ev
 aluated both accurate and inaccurate responses attributed to either a dent
 ist or an AI source, with measures including perceived accuracy, trust, li
 kelihood of following advice, and confidence in decision-making. Results r
 evealed that participants generally viewed AI as a useful source of medica
 l information, but trust remained dependent on the source and accuracy of 
 information. Users expressed greater confidence in expert-labeled response
 s but demonstrated increased trust in AI when the information given was pe
 rceived as accurate.\n\n
