Artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in healthcare, with more individuals seeking guidance from AI tools such as chatbots and AI-generated social media influencers. In the United States, Black Americans—who have historically faced racism within the healthcare system—are among those increasingly relying on AI for physical, mental, and spiritual health questions.

The Guardian US is inviting Black respondents to share their experiences with Black AI-generated health and spiritual influencers. Contributions can be submitted anonymously through a secure, encrypted form accessible only to the Guardian. The data collected will be used solely for a feature and personal information will be deleted once it is no longer needed.

Respondents are encouraged to provide details about themselves, their use of AI for health-related guidance, and which specific chatbots or influencers they consult. Contact information is optional but helpful for follow-up.

This initiative highlights the intersection of technology, health, and racial equity as AI becomes a more prominent source of information and support.
