The world of predictive healthcare is here, and it's not the helpful crystal ball we hoped for. Insurance companies are already using AI to analyze your genetic data, social media posts, and digital footprints to predict everything from mental health crises to testicular cancer. The catch? They're not using this information to help you - they're using it to deny coverage and shift financial responsibility back to you when predictions go wrong.

- Learn how AI is currently being used to predict your health outcomes
- Understand the financial and personal risks of genetic data sharing
