Samsung Threatens to Delete Health Data Unless Users Permit AI Training

Samsung announced a new policy regarding user health data. The company says it will delete the data if users do not consent. Consent is required for the data to be used in training AI models. The policy targets health information collected by Samsung devices. Users are given a choice to allow or block the AI training use. Deletion would occur only after users explicitly decline permission. Samsung frames the move as a step toward responsible AI development. The announcement raises concerns about data ownership and user control.
