3. Misinformation
3.1 > False or misleading information
Mitigation strategy
1. Implement targeted fine-tuning to enhance the LLM's logical consistency and resistance to requests for misleading or factually flawed health information, prioritizing factual recall over generalized compliance (sycophancy). 2. Deploy a robust, layered output validation and content moderation system to sanitize generated text and proactively block high-risk outputs that violate safety, ethical, or health standards before dissemination to the end-user. 3. Design the human-AI interaction in safety-critical applications to explicitly flag and draw the user's attention to any AI-generated recommendations that are determined to be potentially unsafe or erroneous, supporting a high rejection rate of unsafe advice.
