    When asked if ChatGPT Health is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gross said that “in the case of consumer products, HIPAA doesn’t apply in this setting — it applies toward clinical or professional healthcare settings.”

    This will eventually be used to deny you healthcare and health insurance. Law enforcement is already using private data to investigate and track women who may be pregnant or seek abortive care.

      That quote about not being subject to HIPAA sounds suspect, but I guess it could be true as long as their terms and conditions are super explicit about not using the software for any real healthcare decisions, which it sounds like they are. But as soon as this shit does get used to diagnose something, deny or approve insurance coverage, or any of a large number of things, it will become a covered entity and will be subject to all HIPAA and PHI (protected health information) privacy regulations.

    It’s a good bellwether. If you connect all these apps and upload your actual medical records to ChatGPT, we know that you are clinically insane.
