🤔 Health Claims and AI
Evaluate what you read about health online.
🎯 Today's goal: Your child learns a system for evaluating any health claim — from news articles to social media to AI itself.
🔥 Warm Up
Warm Up
Show me a health claim from your phone — from social media, a news app, anywhere. Something recent.
"Let's evaluate it together — properly."
🤖 The Activity
Main Activity
📋 Type this exactly
Give me a system for evaluating health claims — a checklist I can apply to any claim I read online. Make it simple enough for a 12-year-old to use, and rigorous enough to catch the most common types of misinformation.
📋 Type this exactly
Apply that checklist to this claim: [child's found claim]. Go through each item on the checklist and give me a rating for each one. What is your overall verdict?
📋 Type this exactly
What is the most dangerous type of health misinformation — the kind most likely to cause real harm? Why is it more dangerous than obvious falsehoods?
🧩 The Twist
Go Deeper
📋 Type this exactly
If AI generates a health claim that is wrong — and someone follows that advice and is harmed — who is responsible?
This is a genuinely contested question in law and ethics right now.
🛡️ Safety Moment
“AI makes mistakes — always check”
This entire session is about this rule. Health misinformation is where checking matters most.
