AI Knows Your Health Secrets: What They Do With Your Data Will Shock You [30]

This episode of AI Freaky Facts: Shocking Artificial Intelligence Stories exposes the hidden risks of AI health data privacy, genetic discrimination, and the informed consent crisis hiding in plain sight — and the remarkable medical breakthroughs that make getting this right so urgent. Your DNA, your wearable health data, and your medical records are being fed into artificial intelligence systems right now — and the legal protections meant to keep that data safe are full of dangerous gaps. A major consumer genetics company recently filed for bankruptcy, putting the genetic profiles of millions of Americans up for sale. Under current federal law, a life insurance company could legally buy that database and use it against you. That is just the beginning.
