HIPAA AI

HIPAA AI refers to the use of AI in environments where Protected Health Information (PHI) is processed, stored, or accessed. Organizations need visibility into which AI applications, agents, and tools handle PHI and must enforce appropriate access controls, encryption, audit logging, data-handling policies, and vendor requirements. Relevant AI vendors must sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and standard consumer AI tools shouldn’t process PHI unless they’re configured, governed, and contractually approved for HIPAA-compliant use.
