Uploading private medical data to AI chatbots poses significant risks to personal privacy. Users are increasingly turning to generative AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini for medical inquiries, but this practice can lead to unintended exposure of sensitive information. Recent trends on social media platform X have encouraged users to share medical imagery with the AI chatbot Grok, raising concerns about data security and privacy protections.

Security advocates warn that uploaded data can be used to train AI models, potentially leading to unauthorized access by various entities. Elon Musk's endorsement of Grok highlights the need for caution, as the implications of sharing medical imagery remain unclear and could have long-lasting consequences.
