How to use ChatGPT safely
- Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
- Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
- Enable EU data residency where the provider offers it.
- Keep a professional in the loop: image analysis AI is a medical device: only use software with a CE marking under the MDR (class IIa or higher) for precisely the application you deploy it for, and document how you validate and keep monitoring its performance locally.

In the third quarter of 2026, OpenAI made more than 200 reports to law enforcement about threatened violence based on ChatGPT conversations. Conversations in which someone appears fixated on violence may be ended automatically by ChatGPT, and if it happens repeatedly, OpenAI can pause the account. So don't assume that what you type into ChatGPT stays confidential. source
ChatGPT can use plugins to search and summarise iCloud mail and change appointments, including on the free subscription. Signing in uses an app-specific password from Apple; it remains valid if you disconnect the integration in ChatGPT and you must revoke it yourself via account.apple.com. source
Questions
- How safe is ChatGPT for radiology & medical imaging?
- ChatGPT has a strong published GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is well suited to radiology & medical imaging. EU options, no training on your data and/or self-hosting available.
- Does ChatGPT train on my data?
- EU data residency available for Enterprise, Edu and the API. Business and API data are not used for training by default; consumer tiers (Free/Plus/Pro) are, unless you turn this off.
- What should I look out for with AI in radiology & medical imaging?
- Image analysis AI is a medical device: only use software with a CE marking under the MDR (class IIa or higher) for the exact purpose you deploy it for, and document how you validate and keep monitoring performance locally. You process special category personal data: ask where images are processed (on-premise, EU cloud or outside), whether they are pseudonymised and whether they are used for training, and sign a data processing agreement. Many vendors run on AWS or Azure or have been acquired by US groups, so check the current data location. The radiologist remains ultimately responsible for the report.
