I was afraid that might be the case. Was hoping they would let you upload the files as if you had typed them yourself.
Maybe find some studies / articles on transcription bots getting medical terminology and drug names wrong. I'm sure that happens. AI is getting scary-good, but it's far from perfect, and this is potentially a low-possibility-but-dangerous-consequences kind of scenario. Unfortunately the marketers of their software probably have canned responses to these types of concerns. Management is going to hear what they want to hear.
Thaks fot he advice but I'm not against using AI-models transcribing me, just not a cloud model specifically trained on my voice without any control by me. A local model or more preferrably a general local model woulf be fine. What makes me sad is that the persons behind this are totally ignorant to the problem.
I understand, and we're basically on the same page. I'm not fully anti-AI, either. Like any tool, it can be used for good or evil. And you are right to have concerns about data stored in the cloud. The tech bros will mock you for it and then.... oh look, another data breach has it been five minutes already. :)
Yes I agree. Broadening the scope a little, I frankly just wait for a big leak of medical records. The system we use is a birds nest of different softwares, countless API:s, all sorts of database backends. Many systems syem from MS-DOS, just embedded in a bit more modern integrated environment. There are just so many flaws and I'm amazed a leak hasn't happened (or at least surfaced) yet.
Do we work for the same place? 😆
I take this as humour - I understand my situation and IT suite isn't more insecure than many others :)
Yes, I was trying to be funny. The place where I work has a goulash of mismatched old and new software, too.
