Backlash Over Samsung Health Data Used for AI Training
croes · hn · 2026-07-13
This HN post references an article about Samsung Health: Samsung is pushing users to consent to using their personal health data for AI training, threatening the loss of related services or data features otherwise.
This approach ties "continued use of health data services" with "consent to AI training." The controversy lies in whether users truly understand how their data is used, whether clear opt-out options exist, and how highly sensitive information like health data should be handled.
