In an article that appeared on the website for New-Medical, research showed that AI can frequently provide better reviews and diagnoses of issues than medical professionals alone. This seemed like good news, but in reading the article, a few questions sprung to mind.

* How did they protect patient data? Was privacy considered?
* Where was the data processed?

They talk about using multiple AI engines for the test with no reference to where the data went, how it could be stored for future use, or if any sort of anonymization was done.

While it’s great to see the benefits and breakthroughs AI usage can lead to, it is worrisome that this article did not address patient protection while using the AI protocols.

Does anyone else on the security side get concerned when they read articles like this?

In a recent article titled “OpenAI CEO warns that 'societal misalignments' could make artificial intelligence dangerous”, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, commented on his concerns related to the dangers of AI. This brings to mind the stock market crash of 1987 where at least part of the crash was the result of computer-based trading and the interaction of multiple systems doing automated trades that setup a loop. It has long been said that simple systems don’t have bugs, complex ones do. The article is food for thought and worth reading, here is the link:
