Chatbots the New 'Doc?' Researchers Explore AI in Health Behavior Coaching
 Changing habits like quitting smoking or managing stress is hard - but crucial.

Now, AI tools like ChatGPT are stepping in, simulating MI conversations anytime, anywhere. A new review shows these tools are promising and well-received, but questions remain: Do they truly reflect MI's core principles? Can they drive real, lasting change? The answer could reshape digital health interventions.
