People Are Uploading Their Medical Records to A.I. Chatbots

β€œHIPAA, the federal health privacy law, doesn’t apply to the companies behind popular chatbots. Legally, said Bradley Malin… β€œyou’re basically waiving any rights that you have with respect to medical privacy,” leaving only the protections that a given company chooses to offer.”

"I think plenty of people write about the men that surround football b/c that's the expectation. Mothers not only give bodies to the sport, they’re giving birth to these players. They're also caring for them in a way that's different from the other people around them" - @traciecanada.bsky.social
