How do I compellingly advocate for my privacy with doctors and other healthcare professionals?

Patients seeking mental health care face growing privacy risks as AI companies exploit a market for ghostwriting psychotherapy reports, using patient session data as training material. The practice, often sold as "proofreading," allows AI firms to collect sensitive conversations while potentially undermining the viability of human therapists. This trend threatens both patient confidentiality and the future of the psychotherapy profession.

The thing with AI is indeed a fast growing problem.

If psychotherapists hate one thing almost unanimously, it’s writing reports. - And they have to write reports for health insurance companies, colleagues when transfers happen and sometimes just for compliance reasons. There is a huge (mostly illegal) market for ghost writers, which is legal, because their services are sold as proof reading. - AI companies found that market. That isn’t just a good chance for profit now. It is also a good opportunity to replace psychotherapists in the long run.

Think about it. - If you are the AI company, you get all the words spoken or at least all the notes for each session with a patient. That’s valuable training data. Your AI is writing all the reports and therefore is handling all the interactions with the health care system. If the health care providers learn of this, they are only to happy to cut down on compensations for psychotherapists, making the job for humans not viable anymore. At that point AI companies can take over.
