Asked for a Diabetes Specialist, Got a Gynecologist: Why Accuracy Is Non-Negotiable in Healthcare AI
I asked Vaidya AI for the nearest diabetes specialist and received a gynecologist as the top recommendation.
This is not a minor ranking issue—it is a fundamental accuracy problem.
In high-stakes environments like healthcare, users need to trust that the system can correctly interpret intent and provide relevant results. An AI that confidently returns the wrong specialty erodes trust in the entire product.
The concern is not just this specific recommendation. The concern is that if the system can be this wrong on a straightforward query, users have no way to know when other responses may also be incorrect.
Healthcare AI should be designed with a bias toward safety: if confidence is low, admit uncertainty, ask clarifying questions, or defer to verified sources. Incorrect answers presented with confidence can cause real harm
Let me know if you need testers.
