Shireen Jeejeebhoy argues that AI tools could help people with brain injuries manage daily tasks, but that using them can raise privacy concerns, especially when health information or recordings of caregivers are involved.

Her practical advice includes asking permission before recording or naming a caregiver, and checking whether an AI feature works with the internet disconnected. If it does, it is likely running on the device; if not, it may rely on cloud processing. A useful distinction, and one worth checking before sensitive information goes travelling.

Discuss: Should healthcare teams give clients practical guidance on AI privacy, or is it better for people to make those choices themselves?
