Health data privacy with AI starts before you press send
A piece published via KevinMD argues that protecting health data in AI interactions requires decisions made before information is ever entered into a system, not after.
Why this matters: Most people think privacy is about what companies do with data after they collect it. This flips that. The moment you type a symptom, a diagnosis, or a medication into an AI tool, that information has already left your control. Health data is the most sensitive kind there is. It affects insurance, employment, and deeply personal decisions. If you are using an AI health tool, the privacy question is not in the terms of service. It is what you type in the first place.
