AI doesn’t need to openly attack, subtle works just fine.

Why Doctors Using ChatGPT Are Unknowingly Violating HIPAA

Science Blog writes:

With the rise of artificial intelligence, clinicians are turning to chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT to organize notes, produce medical records or write letters to health insurers. But clinicians deploying this new technology may be violating health privacy laws, according to Genevieve Kanter, an associate professor of public policy at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy.

Kanter, who is also a senior fellow at the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics, a partner organization of the USC Price School, recently co-authored an article explaining the emerging issue in the Journal of the American Medical Association. To learn more, we spoke to Kanter about how clinicians are using chatbots and why they could run afoul of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPPA (sic) is a federal law that protects patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s permission.

Sometimes even a blind squirrel will find a nut. But should we rely on that level of security?

We Finally Know Why The TSA Is Cracking Down On CLEAR At Airport Security

CLEAR is a paid program that takes your biometrics and expedites security screening, mostly at airports. They are part-owned by Delta and United, and have a partnership with American Express.

Since you go through a biometric ID check, you usually don’t have to show ID at the security checkpoint, although you randomly are asked to do so.

… Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.
