Weekend Read: Private and Medical AI 🕵️‍♀️


Hey Reader,

I never would have predicted this, but a huge percentage of Innovating with AI Incubator students have a background in medicine – from MDs to psychologists to medical equipment salespeople.

They all face the same challenge: how do you keep your data private while interacting with AI?

This is especially important for people who need HIPAA compliance (medical data privacy laws) and its international equivalents. But we all want to do as much as we possibly can to protect ourselves and make sure our businesses don't run afoul of the rules.

With that in mind, I have two big things to share with you for weekend reading:

First up: My recent article, "Is private AI data even possible?"

I dig into questions about preventing OpenAI from using your data for training future LLMs, as well as a general overview of the (somewhat limited and confusing) world of AI privacy.

Next: My workshop, Medical AI, privacy, and keeping your data safe from GPT-5, on Innovating with AI Insights.

I delivered this workshop live for my Incubator students, and now the audio and transcript are ready for you on this page.

If you haven't checked it out yet, Innovating with AI Insights is where I'm publishing all my most advanced material. You can start with a free trial, and it's 25% off for the next 50 founding members, after which the price goes up.

Question for you –

What's the #1 topic I should cover in my next AI workshop?

Talk soon,
