The rule
The OAIC recommends that organisations don't enter personal information, and particularly sensitive information, into publicly available generative AI tools.
What it means for your clinic
- Client names, mobiles, treatment history, notes and photos stay out of ChatGPT, Claude and other public AI tools.
- When a lesson works with your client list, remove names and contact details first, or work with totals.
