Ugh: Terrifying on its own, but one moment in particular really gets me: "Robert Califf, who served as FDA commissioner [...] said the agency’s review teams have been using AI for several years now." Using "AI" without being more specific here is some real diabolical sleight-of-hand!
Among other things, terrified of the data privacy implications in the proliferation of AI therapy bots. What a horrifying dataset to be leaked, subpoenaed, or auctioned off! And in many cases, irl therapists can *already* function to surveil and police people in crisis. This could automate and remove even more oversight from that. 🧡 https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5351312/artificial-intelligence-mental-health-therapy
