Evaluating the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Breast Self-Examination
ABSTRACT
This viewpoint explores the role of conversational AI in educating the public on breast self-examination, using an interaction with DeepSeek AI as an example. While the AI provided clear, accessible, and evidence-aligned responses consistent with professional guidance, limitations included oversimplification and absence of multimedia resources. These findings suggest that AI can support public health education but should be complemented by physician oversight and evidence-based resources for responsible use.
