As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor’s voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no control over it what so ever.
I see many dangers as the data model is trained on biometric data and possibly could be used to recreate my voice. Of course I understand that there probably are other recordings on the Internet of me, enough to recreate my voice, but that’s beside the point. Also the question is about educating them, not a legal one.
How do I present my case? I’m not willing to use a non local AI transcribing my voice. I don’t want to be percieved as a paranoid nut case. Preferravly I want my bosses and collegues to understand the privacy concerns and dangers of using a “cloud sollution”. Unfortunately thay are totally ignorant to the field of technology and the explanation/examples need to translate to the lay person.
Honestly I would be way more concerned about your patients privacy. You shouldn’t just ship medical data to some third party. That leads to massive data breaches.
I agree with you but that ship has sailed. I work with big medical data and it’s shocking the stuff that gets stored and passed around. The really big players like PBMs and major insurance providers are supposed to abide by HIPAA but they do not fear enforcement at all. Only the small fish like doctors, etc, need fear HIPAA.
