Comment on Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said

So? I’d rather have my software talk to a server than be downright wrong just so another business can climb onto the AI bandwagon.

You can’t do that with personal information like the ones doctors needs transcribed. It has to be local.

Reality is more nuanced than this. You can absolutely be HIPAA compliant while using “cloud” servers as long as they are sufficiently isolated and secured. The requirements are definitely insufficient to protect your data from a Motivated State Actor™ but they are good enough to keep your data away from an abusive family member or crazy ex. I have worked on systems that handle patient data as well as other systems with restrictions I can’t discuss and I can assure you patient data is much easier to move around and handle compared to state secrets.
