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,

– Rob Howard

Hey Reader, Everyone's rolling out AI features, but they're not all a hit. I've seen so many ads for AI-powered tech in mainstream media lately – it seemed like half the commercials during the recent NBA Finals were AI-related. So today, Nyasha helps us dig into one that was not a hit – the McDonald's AI ordering system – and how their competitors are taking the lead on faster, smarter verbal ordering tech. ••• But first, a new tool and free trial for IWAI readers from our friends at Zupyak....

Hey Reader, We're pumped about OpenAI's Sora model, but so far we've only seen a few demos. That's about to change, as a new batch of short films drops at the Tribeca Film Festival this week. ••• But first, a new tool you might like if you're building AI products or processes – our friends at WebAI are launching Navigator, a no-code environment empowers any user to train, build and deploy AI solutions efficiently with ease. But they're only sharing it with folks who join their early access...

Hello Reader, Google’s artificial intelligence search feature left users scratching their heads after a number of outrageous and incorrect search responses went viral. The company recently introduced AI Overview, an advanced search feature designed to provide quick, summarized answers to users' queries using AI. However, instead of enhancing the search experience, users saw responses advising people to add non-toxic glue to pizza and eat rocks for nutrition. These errors sparked an outcry...
