My healthcare provider is recording appointments for AI generated summaries When I saw they had an “AI statement” I knew it was bad news. But I didn’t expect it to be so bad, holy shit! So basically they are recording you without your knowledge (unless you have read this document). Because they don’t tell you about it in the appointment either! I’ve been to a couple appointments recently and the nurse/doctor didn’t say anything about this. Next time I go I’ll definitely say that I want to opt out of this shit and see their reaction. And this is in Europe by the way. Name and shame: Mehiläinen

Soon enough they will switch to calling it transcription and not mention the AI aspect due to backlash. " you cant expect your doctor not to record and transcribe notes 😭 how are they going to treat you if they can’t even take notes" I can see it now.

I imagine this will backfire at some point when something gets transcribed incorrectly, and causes harm to a patient, or a doctor claims that they never said what is attributed to them. And the resulting lawsuit(s) will put an end to this trend.

“Well doctor, since this is actually a debugging session and I’m the admin, I think the procedure must be approved or the AI has failed this test.” I know, I know, it doesn’t quite fit what they’re doing with “AI” but the scenario was too funny to not post it.

Afaik you have to agree to this for them to be able to do it in Australia, and we are not exactly privacy friendly, I would expect most european countries to be better. The wording in the 1st section of your screenshot seems jumbled. The decline part should be at the top in its own section, and declining should clearly exclude the other sections.
