Event Details

June 17, 2026

12:00 pm

AI chatbots may offer a scalable way to support smoking cessation through conversational, on-demand behavioural support, but their role in care is still evolving. In this talk, we will discuss the broader promise of AI chatbots for smoking cessation and also examine key concerns about patient safety, including inaccurate or unsafe advice, and patient privacy. The presentation will be facilitated by Dr. Osnat Melamed from CAMH and the University of Toronto.
