This is my exact concern, patients will feel compelled to say they consent even if they do not, whether it is because of politeness or deferring to authority
When Rebecca Green arrived for her first appointment with a urologist, she was asked whether she consented to having the appointment transcribed by artificial intelligence (AI).
She said yes without hesitation.
“I don’t want to be in her bad books or be that annoying patient who takes up more of her time,” she said.
Exactly. I can really imagine these tools van be helpful and save time, but ffs don’t just blindly trust everything like that. If you brought in a new coworker to transcribe for you you’d also first just see if it’s OK, right?
And yeah, not sure if we can ever fully trust such an AI (actually maybe humans as well?) so reviewing and supervision will be necessary.
