Concerns Rise as Users Share Medical Data with Musk's AI

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk is encouraging users to upload medical images to X, his social media platform, to train Grok, an AI chatbot, in interpreting medical scans. While Grok has shown some success, it has also made significant errors, raising concerns about its accuracy and user privacy. Experts warn that using social media for medical data collection poses risks, including potential privacy violations, as the data is not protected by HIPAA. Musk's approach aims to accelerate AI development but relies on a non-representative sample of data, which may limit its effectiveness.
