[Kim Locke]

Just what we need, an AI that can hack.

Thanks for sharing Kim. Yes, I heard about Mythos AI having the ability to re-identify de-identified and anonymized (I need to find the resource on that) data.

This has implications in the clinical trials & drug discovery business where the need to protect patient identity is paramount.

@Debra-Turnbull I think this should raise a red flag for PAN, in general, in terms of privacy and consent of patient identity. There's a lot of red flags with AI, but this one is pretty big.

@Kim-Locke Thanks for sharing! As someone who grew up chronically ill, survived septic shock, and now works in healthcare advocacy/patient engagement spaces, AI conversations like this are SO interesting to me! Honestly when people say “dangerous AI,” my brain doesn’t go to sci-fi robot movies as it goes to real-world things like trust and what happens when systems fail vulnerable people first. I also really wish we’d stop using SUCH human language around AI. Words like “emotion” make people imagine consciousness when a lot of this is really advanced pattern processing. That said; I am hopeful about AI in healthcare when used responsibly. If it can help reduce burnout; I love that energy!

@Jenna-Kedy-0 I'm hopeful that we will work out the bad things and be able to work more on the good things. When I think about AI, I think about privacy, consent, and trust. ...and secondly, digital literacy. These things need to be ironed out as laws or regulations before we should be letting children or even young adults use it.
