When AI Decides Who Lives and Dies
Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
Release Date: 09/10/2025
Are AI death panels already deciding your medical fate while teenagers get suicide coaching from ChatGPT?
Medicare just greenlit AI to approve treatments, promising "efficiency" while a 16-year-old allegedly got help writing his suicide note from OpenAI's bot. We're watching our warnings play out in real-time as the feds outsource life-and-death decisions to algorithms designed for engagement, not empathy.
In this episode you'll discover how AI medical claims work, why your data isn't safe, and the specific red flags to watch for when using AI for mental health. Plus, we'll break down the legal implications and what this means for anyone sharing personal information with chatbots.
Stop raw-dogging your AI interactions and start protecting your data before it's used against you.

- Medicare's AI claims approval pilot program targeting "inefficient" surgeries
