Lawmakers want to ban AI companies from selling your health data

Lawmakers are proposing a new version of the Health and Location Data Protection Act that would ban companies, including AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, from selling Americans' health and location data to data brokers (third parties who buy and sell personal information). The updated bill expands on an earlier 2022 version to specifically address the AI era by preventing not just data brokers but other companies from selling this sensitive information.
