A recent viral video featuring an artificial intelligence 'doctor' sounding the alarm has been revealed to be a hoax. The impact of this fictional physician has been significant enough to startle the public and initiate a broad conversation about the authenticity of information in the digital age. While there is no specific who, the what and why continues to reverberate - focusing on the misuse of AI and the spread of false information presented as expert medical advice.

Japan has a highly advanced tech industry and a society that often adopts new technologies swiftly. The prevalence of AI, coupled with the weight given to medical advice even if it's virtual, has led to an immediate and critical response to this hoax. Public discourse centers around ethical implications of false information and the potential harm it could cause, demonstrating societal values for accuracy and trust in technology.

In the US and EU, similar issues are tackled head on, with regulations aiming to combat digital disinformation. Instances like these are used as arguments for stricter controls and regulations on tech companies and social media platforms to monitor and remove misleading content.
