The Invisible Scribe: How AI is Creeping into Healthcare Without Consent The Australian government has issued a warning about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) scribes by doctors, highlighting concerns over patient consent, data security, and regulation.
In recent years, the popularity of AI scribes has grown exponentially, with companies claiming hundreds of millions of uses worldwide in just 18 months.
While proponents argue that AI scribes improve productivity and reduce clinician burnout, the federal health department is more concerned about the lack of oversight, transparency, and informed consent.
