How to Protect Your Privacy While Using AI, According to Proton’s CEO AI tools have become a daily habit for millions—writing drafts, summarizing articles, generating images. But every time you type a prompt into a chatbot, you’re sending that data to a company’s servers. For many people, that trade-off between convenience and privacy is starting to feel uneasy. ...
Proton’s CEO on AI Privacy: What Keeps Him Up at Night and How You Can Stay Safe Using AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot has become as routine as checking email. But every time you paste a question, a draft, or a spreadsheet into these services, you’re handing data to a company that may use it to train its models, share it with vendors, or store it on servers you can’t control. In a recent interview with Spiceworks, Proton CEO Andy Yen argued that privacy in the age of AI is possible — and then pointed to the one gap that still worries him most. ...
How to Protect Your Privacy When Using AI: Lessons from Proton’s CEO Introduction Every week there’s a new AI tool promising to save time, write emails, generate images, or summarize documents. But for anyone who’s thought twice before pasting personal information into a chat window, the privacy question is real: what happens to the data you share? Proton’s CEO Andy Yen recently told Spiceworks that privacy in the AI era is possible, but he also highlighted one specific risk that keeps him up at night. That risk, and what you can do about it, is worth understanding. ...
Medical Imaging AI and Your Privacy: The Hidden Risks You Should Know Artificial intelligence is making medical imaging faster and more accurate. Tumors are found earlier. Scans are read in seconds. But as AI tools become routine in radiology, a less visible side effect is emerging: new risks to your privacy. ...
Medical Imaging AI Opens a Pandora’s Box of Privacy Risks: What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to help radiologists read X‑rays, CT scans, and MRIs faster and more accurately. That sounds like good news. But a less‑talked‑about side of the same technology is raising alarms among security researchers: the ability to create convincing fake medical images that are nearly impossible to distinguish from real ones—and the privacy risks that come with it. If you’ve ever had a medical scan, your imaging data could be at risk in ways you haven’t considered. ...
AI in Medical Imaging Raises New Privacy Risks: What Patients Should Know Artificial intelligence is becoming a regular tool in radiology departments, helping doctors detect fractures, tumors, and other abnormalities from X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. But as hospitals adopt these systems, researchers are uncovering a less-discussed side effect: new privacy threats that could affect anyone who has ever had a medical image taken. A recent study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) shows that AI-generated fake X-rays can fool both radiologists and diagnostic algorithms, raising concerns about data manipulation and identity theft. ...
Your Medical Scans Are Feeding AI—And That Raises New Privacy Risks Medical imaging has quietly become one of the most data-intensive areas of healthcare. X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are now routinely processed by artificial intelligence tools that help radiologists detect cancer, fractures, and other conditions faster. That shift brings real benefits, but it also creates new privacy risks that most patients are not aware of. Recent research presented by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) highlights how these risks extend beyond typical data breaches — including the possibility that someone could fabricate a medical image that looks real. ...
Medical AI and Your Privacy: What You Need to Know About Risks in Medical Imaging Artificial intelligence is making its way into radiology departments across the country, promising faster diagnoses and fewer missed abnormalities. But a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) highlights a less discussed side of this trend: the privacy risks that come with medical imaging AI. From data breaches to deepfake X-rays that can fool both doctors and algorithms, the technology is raising hard questions about who has access to your medical images and what they can do with them. ...
Medical Imaging AI: The Hidden Privacy Risks You Need to Know About Artificial intelligence is being rolled out in radiology departments faster than most patients realize. It can spot tumors in CT scans, flag fractures in X-rays, and speed up diagnoses. But recent reports from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) have drawn attention to a less discussed side of this technology: serious privacy risks that could affect any patient who has ever had a medical image taken. ...
Medical AI’s Privacy Problem: How Deepfake X-Rays Could Put Your Health Data at Risk Artificial intelligence is changing medical imaging for the better—faster diagnoses, fewer missed findings, and more consistent readings. But there’s a less talked‑about side to that progress. Recent research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) shows that AI can now create synthetic X‑rays and scans that are nearly impossible to distinguish from real ones, even by trained radiologists and other AI systems. That ability raises urgent questions about patient privacy, data integrity, and trust in digital health records. ...
