Critics warn of health data privacy concerns as Ottawa ramps up AI strategy

As Ottawa pushes forward with its AI strategy, particularly in healthcare, critics are sounding the alarm about significant privacy concerns. While the government aims to leverage AI for improved health services, experts highlight that the proposed privacy measures have critical weaknesses. These gaps could expose sensitive health data, undermining public trust and potentially leading to misuse. This situation underscores the need for robust safeguards to protect personal information as the country advances in AI integration.
