- Samsung is giving Samsung Health users a take-it-or-leave-it choice: consent to having their personal health data used for AI training or have that data permanently deleted, according to Android Police, How-To Geek, and 9to5Google.
- Samsung Health ties the AI-training consent requirement specifically to cloud sync functionality, per the source's 'Want Samsung Health cloud sync?' prompt.
Why it matters: Samsung Health users who want to keep their medical records synced are being forced to surrender those records for AI training with no middle-ground option, meaning the practical cost of opting out of AI training is the loss of personal health history.
