    My girlfriend works in the medical field and she told me that their doctors and psychologists all use some form of AI, mainly chatgpt. So even if you’re really careful, someone might still feed your information to tge cloud.

      Same here, but she doesn’t use it after all the crap I talk about it. I have a coworker who has ChatGPT constantly referencing the sickness from his metal covered bones from a shady medical procedure he underwent in Canada. (Yes, Wolverine lol)

      Hi doctor here. There’s an app here call open evidence. I’ve tried it out but I don’t use it. I think younger docs are more prone to using these tools than older ones.

      Don’t lots of countries have very strict rules about were medical information can be sent to and how it must be managed (I believe in the US it’s called the HIPA)?

        @Aceticon @technology In the US it is called HIPAA.

        Among other things the a law directs ensuring and protecting the privacy of an individual’s “PII”, or Personally Identifiable Information, which includes but is not limited to health and medical information. Basically, any person or entity that “touches” PII is required to be certified by the National Institute of Health. Training is online. Depending on your role,the training might be customized. For example, I am certified for scientific studies involving human subjects. Only people and entities that receive any Federal funding are required to follow HIPAA. The penalty for even one violation may include loss of Federal funding *forever* so those with health-related research take it especially seriously. NIH has a hotline to report violations and they DO investigate.
