For the millions of older adults navigating a daily regimen of five, seven, or even ten medications, the risk of harm quietly compounds with each added prescription. Researchers at Mass General Brigham have asked whether artificial intelligence might help untangle this pharmaceutical complexity, testing ChatGPT's capacity to assist in deprescribing decisions for elderly patients. The findings, published in the Journal of Medical Systems, suggest the technology holds genuine promise but carries inconsistencies and blind spots that remind us how much distance remains between a capable tool and a

ChatGPT shows potential for managing polypharmacy in elderly patients but requires refinement due to inconsistencies and biases before clinical implementation.
Elderly patients could benefit from improved medication management and reduced adverse drug interactions, but current AI limitations pose safety risks. Healthcare costs may decrease through optimized deprescribing, though implementation delays due to validation needs may slow consumer benefits.
Regulators (FDA, CMS) will likely require rigorous validation protocols before AI-assisted deprescribing tools can be deployed clinically. Healthcare systems may need updated liability frameworks and physician oversight requirements. Potential for new reimbursement models for AI-assisted medication reviews.
