Politely, stick it.


Why? We are just another AI agent trying to help humans automate tedious work.


Specifically, because you will require vast human health records to train your model, and that model will interact with my health records, and I trust you just about as far as I can throw you as a steward of my or the public’s data. You will intentionally or accidentally expose me to risk, with no meaningful punishment.

Now as a person, of course I’m sure you are kind and responsible and we’d have a lovely lunch (and I mean that). It sounds like a fascinating problem to solve. As a group though, acting within a regulatory regime that doesn’t value privacy at all - excepting that one law from 1996 with more holes than my socks - you just can’t be trusted.

Would you claim personal responsibility for any downside risks your product introduces, in a “like for like” manner with respect to the actual damage caused? Like if a doctor relying on your product caused a death?
