Shelley Spence warns about AI scribes
While the province's Minister Stephen Crawford says these errors showed up only in testing (not while doctors were actually treating patients), Spence pointed out that about 5,000 doctors are already using these AI scribes.
She even told her own doctor to double-check the AI transcript after her visit.
Similar worries have popped up in the US too, where OpenEvidence has faced scrutiny over hallucinations and incomplete answers, and doctors said it can sometimes draw overly strong conclusions from small studies.
