Are There Any Truly Private AI Systems for Health Concerns?

In my opinion, there’s no such thing as guaranteed privacy anymore. I’ve uploaded my health data to AI and found it surprisingly helpful as a real-time health coach, but it’s definitely a bit scary to think about.

I've come across Venice.ai, which claims to not store your information and keeps chats saved only on your browser. They say they don’t keep anything you send or use it to train their models. However, the chats do get sent to their server for functionality, so there's always a risk involved. They seem to be one of the more privacy-friendly options out there, but remember, sending information over the internet can never be completely private. Also, be cautious—don’t rely solely on AI for medical advice; they can hallucinate information.

Have you looked into Microsoft's Copilot? They claim not to use your data for training, and given their resources, they might have better oversight compared to smaller companies. But, trusting any company with sensitive data is tricky—caution is key.

If you want to maintain privacy, running your own AI model could be the way to go. If you have the hardware, there are software options that allow you to do this. Just manage your expectations regarding performance. And definitely don't expect a chatbot to be your one-stop-shop for medical advice.

Honestly, I wouldn't input anything into AI that I'd be uncomfortable seeing online. Companies often have privacy violations that seem accidental but can be part of a larger business strategy. If you can, run models offline to minimize risk, though no system is completely safe.
