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, This week, my students and I have been talking a lot about the climate effects of AI. The footprint of AI usage has been a big issue for years – and it's become an even more common question because of viral headlines claiming that AI "drinks a bottle of water" to generate even a small amount of content. And it's about more than just quantifying resource usage. In our new post in Innovating with AI Magazine, author Amy Smith explores how grocery stores can use AI to optimize their...
Hey Reader, Love 'em or hate 'em, AI search tools are rapidly becoming the most efficient way to find answers online. That's one takeaway from our first proprietary survey of Innovating with AI readers – shared today in our latest post in Innovating with AI Magazine (free for everyone). See the full article and data In addition to the new data, intrepid IWAI reporter Tim Keary has interviewed thought leader Nick Reese (the first Director of Emerging Technology Policy at the US Department of...
Hey Reader, It's hard to see past the chaos in the White House, but I want to share something with you that I told my team a few months ago: When history tells the story of the 2020s, AI will be the main character, and Donald Trump will be a footnote. This week it seems likely that Trump will send his country and several others into a recession. But despite his temporary power and his fame/infamy, he's a small man in a big decade. Our grandkids will be reading history books like this: "In the...
