... AI mental health? For real? How is it legal?
If I had to guess: no laws banning it yet
Is HIIPPA and the FDA a joke to them? There's meant to be a zillon things to stop this kinda thing.
LOL, said the United States, LMAO
HIPAA does not apply to as many entities as it probably should. These services likely avoid it by considering themselves wellness services, rather than healthcare.
People don't realize language models can regurgitate info to other people.
I think this is the real answer. And when new tech is in a legal gray zone you go with what makes you money now, not what could be a legal battle later.
*HHIIPPA
No thing AI related its legal or ilegal. Its not regulated at all.
It's not. Anywhere. But the how and why it is illegal is not yet settled. It's new enough that an "entrepreneur" can throw up a bullshit smokescreen, make a pile of money, and scuttle them away before the world figures out how to apply the law correctly.
