My doctor violated my privacy by using AI (in a very disturbing way)

First, it IS entirely possible that the doctor is using some “secure AI” systems. There are many HIPPA-Compliant vendors.

So it’s very, very possible that this isn’t actually even a HIPPA violation. If that eases your mind at all…(it shouldn’t).

First step, ask how it was made, and ask specifically about your personal data and how it’s being used. As for distinctions like “is this regular ChatGPT? Or a special HIPPA-compliant version?”

Second, check that the infographic is actually 100% accurate. If it’s not, and I mean if there’s a single errant point of data, or something omitted that is critical, ask your area’s most intense ambulance chaser lawyer for a (free!) consult on an “interesting” medical case. A HIPPA violation alone (if that’s even happening) isn’t enough to bother wasting your time with a lawyer. But a doctor using AI to dispense inaccurate and potentially harmful information without a cross-check is 100% a malpractice suit waiting to happen. I’m not a fan of being litigious, but at some point this doctor is going to let ChatGPT tell someone to do something that will harm them, and that’s worth making a stand about now while the stakes are low.

Best of luck!
