What is justice without privacy? It is a question that, until recently, belonged to the realm of speculative philosophy. Today, it feels less like a thought experiment and more like a daily headline.

From the cameras embedded in our streets to the trackers in our phones, the capacity to monitor individuals has outpaced our moral vocabulary for discussing it.

Increasingly, AI is spotting illness before a human clinician ever reads a chart.

For public health, this promises a revolution. For the physician-patient relationship, it raises a thornier question: when a machine sees you first, whose judgment do you trust?
