I’m not a lawyer, but my understanding is that HIPAA wouldn’t apply to consumer use of Claude or ChatGPT in most cases, even if you’re giving it your health data. Look up what a HIPAA covered entity. This is another reason why the US needs a comprehensive data protection law beyond HIPAA.

I hate comments anthropomorphizing LLMs. You are just asking a token producing system to produce tokens in a way that optimises for plausibility. Whatever it writes has no relation to its inner workings or truths. It doesn't "believe". It has no "intent". It cannot "admit". Steering a LLM to say anything you want is the defining characteristic of an LLM. That's how we got them to mimic chatbots. It's not clear there is any way at all to make them "safe" (whatever that means).

Just out of curiosity, which version of Claude?
