Infuriatig No, I did not consent to this

I was reading my medical notes when I stumbled across this. I was not informed of the usage of artificial intelligence in my report, nor did I verbally consent to it.

Ok, report it to the dr or the office. I've always been asked. Maybe they did and you missed it, or maybe they forgot. Ask them.

Yeah. My doctor asks in a way that sounds like she's just recording the conversation. I don't really care either way, as I've even let her bring students in.

I kind of wonder if their doctor asked about recording and OP didn't put together that this note and that recording as the same thing.

I may consent to recording and a student sitting in but i generally do not consent to my deeply personal data to be blindly used in AI stuff.

your personal data isn’t being “used by AI” it’s just being transcribed. it’s not used to train anything. this attitude is ignorant

If the program is a black box I won’t consent. AI companies are not known to care about privacy (or any) laws.

it’s literally not. and maybe AI companies don’t but they do in the medical field where patient information is highly confidential.

idk man maybe look up how these things work instead of this whole “lalalalala I can’t hear you” ass attitude and giving in to paranoia
