Trust in Generative AI for Health Information Consumption and the Effect of Learned Dependency: An Experimental Study
A randomized experimental study of 338 participants reveals that users who develop learned dependency on generative AI for health information exhibit weaker trust calibration and increased susceptibility to incorrect outputs. While information accuracy generally increases trust in AI-generated health content, highly dependent users show diminished ability to discern accuracy, and visual attention cues failed to mitigate this overtrust vulnerability.
