Its not clear to me whether this will impact all foreign made drones or just those from China. I get that DJI is the core target, but does this mean that a competitor from Europe (ex. Ukraine which I imagine will have a burgeoning drone market, esp for commercial/defense applications) will need a natsec signoff in order to sell a drone in the US?
Edit to add: From additional reporting on the issue, it seems that the answer is yes, it will affect all countries
Won't this place drone users in US in severe disadvantage right at the time when drones of all kinds are being used to provide all kinds of useful services ? In comparison users in countries with better policy planning will reap benefits.
Shouldn't there been some sort of planning for a local company to provide at least comparable products before needlessly wreaking havoc like this ?
I thought this was interesting: Almost all the enacted bills encouraging data centers to locate in a state were passed by Republican legislatures, and more bills addressing data centers’ environmental risks were proposed in Democratic legislatures than Republican legislatures. Concern about the impacts of data centers on power prices was bipartisan.
I thought this was one of the most interesting stats: Among Core Republicans, 80% oppose political violence. Among New Entrants, by contrast, 54% say political violence can be justified. Support for political violence is also high among those who believe many conspiracy theories and among those who tolerate openly racist or antisemitic individuals. Age is one of the strongest predictors: just 13% of those over 50 in the Current GOP justify political violence, compared with 57% of those under 50.
A ton of EMR systems are cloud-hosted these days. There’s already patient data for probably a billion humans in the various hyperscalers.
Totally understand that approaches vary but beyond EMR there’s work to augment radiologists with computer vision to better diagnose, all sorts of cloudy things.
It’s here. It’s growing. Perhaps in your jurisdiction it’s prohibited? If so I wonder for how long.
In the US, HIPAA requires that health care providers complete a Business Associate Agreement with any other orgs that receive PHI in the course of doing business [1]. It basically says they understand HIPAA privacy protections and will work to fulfill the contracting provider's obligations regarding notification of breaches and deletion. Obviously any EMR service will include this by default.
Most orgs charge a huge premium for this. OpenAI offers it directly [2]. Some EMR providers are offering it as an add-on [3], but last I heard, it's wicked expensive.
I'm pretty sure the LLM services of the big general-purpose cloud providers do (I know for sure that Amazon Bedrock is a HIPAA Eligible Service, meaning it is covered within their standard Business Associate Addendum [their name for the Business Associate Agreeement as part of an AWS contract].)
Sorry to edit snipe you; I realized I hadn't checked in a while so I did a search and updated my comment. It appears OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic also offer BAAs for certain LLM services.
In the US, it would be unthinkable for a hospital to send patient data to something like ChatGPT or any other public services.
Might be possible with some certain specific regions/environments of Azure tho, because iirc they have a few that support government confidentiality type of stuff, and some that tout HIPAA compliance as well. Not sure about details of those though.
