As artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for mental health become more prevalent, experts warn of potential cash-for-data scams exploiting patient recordings and personal health information to train these AI models. Recent examples include a company offering money for recorded therapy sessions and mental health platforms using patient data without consent to experiment with AI counseling tools. While companies claim this data is needed to improve accessibility and affordability of mental health services, clinicians raise concerns about patient privacy, safety risks of unmonitored AI therapy, and the inability of AI to handle complex psychological needs. However, the high value of quality patient data for powering healthcare AI means this unethical collection could proliferate unless properly regulated.
