Abstract

In Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, and Llama, significantly impact healthcare by aiding in patient care, medical research, and administrative tasks. AI-powered chatbots offer real-time responses and manage chronic diseases, improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency. However, these models pose security and ethical challenges, necessitating robust data privacy, adversarial training, and ethical guidelines. This paper proposes a secure, ethical pipeline for deploying AI healthcare chatbots, integrating advanced privacy-preserving techniques and continuous security assessments to enhance data privacy, resilience, and user trust.
