ChatGPT-generated fake X-rays successfully deceive both radiologists and AI diagnostic systems, raising serious concerns about deepfake medical imaging

Researchers demonstrated that AI-generated radiographs created with ChatGPT could fool medical professionals into misdiagnosing patient conditions

Both human radiologists and AI-based diagnostic systems fell victim to the deepfake X-rays, indicating vulnerability across multiple layers of medical validation

The study highlights emerging security threats in healthcare where synthetic medical images could potentially be used to cause patient harm or game diagnostic systems
