The worst part is that HIPAA has actually already allowed AI companies to do this. Epic EHR software now has built in AI chart summary support as well as AI dictation where the patient is recorded throughout the visit by the AI agent. Somone has decided that feeding patient’s PHI and voice into an AI company’s black box is somehow acceptable healthcare practice and has actively implemented it in physical healthcare facilities.
At my last visit my doctor asked if I was okay with her recording for this (dunno if it was that exact company or not) and I said fuck no. I’m there to talk about sensitive shit, you wouldn’t catch me posting any of it online and you won’t catch me narrating it to a chatbot.
