"By asking its millions of users to upload their personal medical records to its new ChatGPT Health, OpenAI is opening itself to the highest possible scrutiny regarding data privacy, Bonta said."
"With Trump and federal Republicans repeatedly taking steps that have made health care more expensive, consumers are turning more and more to resources like AI to seek care they might not otherwise access."
"We need to take real steps to address the real consumer privacy concerns here, which are compounded by the daily cybersecurity threats (that) both the health and artificial intelligence agencies face as well as the cost pressures driving people away from the doctor's office and onto AI interfaces."
"I'm proud that my bill AB 489, which went into effect at the beginning of this year, will ensure no AI system or chatbot can pretend to hold a medical license, and I am committed to continuing the conversation on the intersection of AI and health care in the legislature."
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Health to combine ChatGPT with individuals' personal medical records and wellness data. OpenAI asks millions of users to upload their personal medical records, creating heightened data privacy scrutiny. Rising healthcare costs linked to recent federal policies have driven more consumers to seek care through AI resources. Consumer privacy concerns are compounded by daily cybersecurity threats faced by both health and artificial intelligence agencies and by cost pressures that push people away from in-person care. AB 489, effective Jan. 1, prohibits AI systems and chatbots from misrepresenting medical licensure and grants state boards and law enforcement authority to enforce title protections.
