Item Artificial intelligence scribes in primary care(2024)1 Artificial intelligence (AI) scribes can mimic human scribes These tools use speech recognition, natural language process ing, and AI technologies to listen during a clinical encounter and generate clinical documentation.1 Clinicians can then review, edit, and sign the generated note in the medical record. 2 Early evidence suggests that AI scribes lessen administrative burden and improve quality of time spent with patients2,3 A 10-week, California-based pilot found that primary care providers spent less time documenting during appointments and using electronic medical records outside office hours.3 Patients felt comfortable with AI scribes and reported clin icians spent less time looking at a computer.3 The use of AI scribes may also improve the quality of medical notes by generating more timely and complete documentation.3,4 3 Clinical documentation generated by AI scribes may contain errors and must always be reviewed3,5 Atrifical Intelligence tools can introduce mistakes, including hallucinations (i.e., documenting things that did not occur) or omission of key information.3,5 They may struggle with differ ent languages and documenting physical examinations.2,3 Clin icians are ultimately responsible for the quality of their documentation and must review all AI-generated notes to ensure accuracy and completeness.4,5 4 Users must ensure software is compliant with local privacy regulations4,5 To date, AI scribes remain unregulated. Clinicians must understand how clinical information captured by the soft ware is stored, retained, accessed, and subsequently used.4,5 Data stored outside of Canada may be subject to foreign laws. The onus is on the clinician or their institution to understand privacy implications and potential for patient harm, and to ensure the software performs as intended. 5 Users must obtain consent before using an AI scribe4,5 Clinicians must explain, receive, and document informed consent from patients, including reasons for use and poten tial risks such as privacy implications and subsequent owner ship, storage, and use of healthItem Artificial Intelligence in Science and Society: The Vision of USERN(2024)Therecent rise in relevance and diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems and the increasing number and power of applications of AI methods invites a profound reflection on the impact The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Derek Abbott
