My mom is a retired nursing instructor, I've picked up a few things over the years. This is going to be fun when a HIPA violation occurs via MS A.I.

Honestly any industry where you see confidential information or proprietary information, could pose a massive threat to customers. Just knowing how much of a product your competitors are shipping to a location can tell you a lot of what they are planning.

    I guarantee you they will solve it by lobbying to get rid of HIPA

    Nah, why get rid of it if you can get exclusions for just AI, like they are doing for other stuff like copyright.

    At some point, all that juicy sweet medical data will be worth the 8 figure bribe to several congressmen to allow thebsale of access to the data for 'research' use to amazon and google.

    All that data is private, until it isnt.

    Dont be so innocent to think that hipaa data will never be sold, it will be eventually

    I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I'm sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn't locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.

    I work IT at a university that does medical research, and the doctors and their assistants are by FAR the biggest security pit among all the demographics: staff, students, various faculties. You could tell them you were official password inspector and flash an ID written in crayon on a used napkin and they'd just "yeah whatever, here you go, stop bothering me".

    They'd get chewed into paste by their directors after the inevitable happened and their compatriots would learn NOTHING.
