HIPAA compliant AI

This article discusses the challenges of maintaining HIPAA compliance when using AI services, highlighting that cloud-hosted options like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are often not compliant out of the box. It details the need for Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and the limitations of enterprise plans. The author argues that running AI locally on consumer hardware (e.g., high-end GPUs or Macs with unified memory) is a practical and cost-effective alternative as of early 2026, avoiding the bureaucratic and financial burdens of cloud-based HIPAA-compliant solutions.
