What Actually Happens If AI Gives You Financial or Medical Advice That Harms You (FAQ)

Andrew Miles Davis answers three questions from recent training sessions, starting with a direct and important one: what actually happens if AI gives financial or medical advice that causes harm. His honest answer is that major AI companies do not accept liability, and the safest approach is to treat any high-stakes AI output as a starting point requiring professional verification, not a final decision. He then explores whether AI managers running human teams is a realistic future, concluding it likely is, driven partly by cost and partly by some people genuinely preferring consistent, private guidance over an unpredictable human boss, while flagging that accountability remains the one thing AI cannot currently hold. The episode closes with a practical answer on how to stop AI from remembering specific conversations, covering incognito or temporary chat modes and how to manage what gets stored in memory.
