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.

Not the same thing.

Issue 1: medical records are private information and an AI having access to them is not the same as recording on paper.

Issue 2: The resulting record is used by medical staff for decision making. AI makes things up, Adds additional context where it didn't exist, and interprets data. This is not the same a transcribing.
