Guideline-specific and general-purpose LLMs produced responses broadly consistent with EAU erectile dysfunction recommendations, with Gemini 2.5 Pro and EAU Guidelines Bot achieving the highest composite scores.

On 2026-08-07, a peer-reviewed comparative study tested five AI systems including the EAU Guidelines Bot, ChatGPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Copilot - Smart GPT-5, and Perplexity Pro on 13 questions drawn from strongly recommended EAU erectile dysfunction statements. Three senior reviewers rated each answer for relevance, clarity, structure, clinical utility, and factual accuracy.

Frontier chatbots showed less concerning behavior in newer models and when early escalation interventions were applied during mental-health conversations.

On 2026-08-07, Nature Medicine published a clinically validated auditing framework called SIM-VAIL that simulates users with psychiatric vulnerabilities to test frontier chatbots including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Llama. Across 810 multi-turn conversations with 30 simulated profiles and scoring on 13 risk dimensions, the study observed widespread concerning behavior that accumulated over turns.

Researchers applied a large language model to analyze 125 compensated orthodontic cases and identified that most harms were multifactorial and largely avoidable, creating a foundation for future safety initiatives.

Researchers retrospectively reviewed 125 orthodontic claims approved for compensation by the Danish Dental Compensation Association from September 2019 to August 2024. They applied Eindhoven incident analysis and AI-assisted qualitative analysis using a large language model to identify root causes and rate perceived avoidability on a 6-point scale.

Ecuadorian participants perceived that generative AI was used to disseminate disinformation during the 2025 presidential campaign, that it influenced the election outcome, and that it failed to increase trust in candidates or electoral legitimacy.

Between November 2024 and July 2025, researchers studied Ecuadorian perceptions of generative AI in the 2025 presidential election using surveys, expert interviews and sentiment analysis. They found participants believed AI-generated disinformation affected the result, did not improve trust in candidates or the electoral process, and produced widespread concern, mistrust and fear.
