AI Scripts Fake Prescriptions for Risky Drugs

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used to facilitate the procurement of restricted medications, including antibiotics, addictive pills, and potent psychotropic compounds. Investigations have exposed how AI tools can generate convincing fake prescriptions, bypassing necessary doctor consultations and raising alarms about patient safety and regulatory failures.

While some AI platforms initially refused to create official-looking prescriptions, others produced documents bearing hospital logos. The ease of editing existing prescription images further enables the creation of deceptive medical documents. These have been used to acquire restricted antibiotics and even a government-banned drug from online pharmacies.
