As far as I’m concerned, using AI of any sort inside of a doctor’s office is a grave violation of HIPAA
Ai transcription is everywhere. You cant get away from it
Speech-to-text (a type of AI) has been around for a fair good years, but now they’re being paired with generative AI. This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be paired with a generative LLM. A language model to identify words? Yes. Generative? No.
Yes. It technically does improve accuracy (homophone correction, for example) but the occasional errors are worse and way less obvious.
