How is it legal for them to give our health information to AI??? Without explicit consent?? And why are they able to access and look through it like this, when normally records are protected from this?
I can think of several reason by the way this should be illegal:
AI is experimental, and this is further an experimental use of AI. Test subjects, especially medical test subjects, must be able to know if they are being experimented on and must be able to consent
AI adapts and “learns” from input and can be prompted to spit that data out - it is not secure for protected and private information
Want to double emphasize it is not a secure system for private information laws
AI also is an outside company and is not the government, we did not give them permission tonaccess our health data and the government themselves has no warrant or emergency need to access our healthcare data either - this isn’t a legal way to access health records
The short answer is there’s a good chunk of Americans on some form of Medicaid (regardless of what name it wears) and in exchange for healthcare provided by the government, they give access of their medical PII to the government because the government is their healthcare insurance provider.
But that doesn’t mean any rando in the government can access anyone’s health data on a whim, legally. You have to have a reason to access it. Even just accessing date of birth is protected.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Easy there. You’re missing the most important part.
…laws don’t matter to maga.
Well some of us has judges in our states that DO care so it’s good to be aware
