Medical Data in the Age of AI: Should You Trust Social Networks with Your Health Scans? (Ep. 11)
In this episode, we dive into Elon Musk’s recent call for X users to submit their medical scans—X-rays, PET scans, MRIs, and more—to his new AI chatbot, Grok, to help improve its accuracy.
Musk claims Grok’s capabilities are already impressive and will only get better with user data. But is it safe to share your health data with a public AI system?
Join us as we explore the concerns raised by experts about privacy, data security, and the potential biases that could result from an unsystematic data collection approach.
We discuss why xAI’s own privacy policy discourages sharing personal information and unpack the risks, including the inadvertent exposure of sensitive details.
With AI advancing rapidly, how do we navigate the line between innovation and privacy? Tune in to find out.
