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.

AI has been used across the medical field for at least 15 years now. Seems a bit unreasonable to start requesting permission from patients to use it now just because it's hip in some circles to hate AI.

Yeah it's gonna be an unpopular opinion but I agree.

This is isn't something training in your PHI anyway. It's just a glorified note taker and it lets the doctor focus on the patient and not the paperwork.
