The headline says patient data went to an AI tool.
It did: 3,182 patients, one spreadsheet, one unapproved public chatbot. The part nobody in our record says is which tool.
Johns Hopkins alerts 3,000+ patients after data sent to an AI tool.

VERIFIED
3,182
WMAR, CBS Baltimore and the Baltimore Sun all report a worker uploaded a patient spreadsheet to an unapproved public AI tool; the Sun puts it at 3,182 patients. The data included medical record numbers and medications, not Social Security numbers.
The twist
The hospital asked the AI company to delete it. None of the receipts names the tool or says the company confirmed deletion.
