There's no mention of data privacy. Since AI Scribe[0] study is a run by OntarioMD, the digital technology arm of the Ontario Medical Association, it might be okay but it would be nice if it declared it.
From the AI Scribe link:
> This project is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and overseen by Ontario Health. The study is currently underway, with 150 primary care providers already selected from diverse demographic groups, technical backgrounds, and geographic areas. We are no longer accepting participants for the study. Results of the study will be shared later this year.

- passion__desire 3y agoWe are made of electrons. Every electron is the same. Electrons have no sense of privacy.

- sp332 3y agoElectrons don't get murdered when their SO's find out they are pregnant. Although I guess that's more of an issue in the USA than Canada.
- loceng 3y agoI honestly don't love taxpayer funding being used - unless the underlying technology is open sourced and available for commercial use, so then the free market can make improvements on it, etc. Or funding situations like e.g. "we'll pay for you if the doctor/practitioner chooses your software" - but otherwise the free market is efficient, and unelected people administering taxpayer money have no real incentive to not mismanage the money; especially when current governments are money printing devaluing everyone's money, causing a ton of externalized effects literally causing harm to people's health and reducing people's quality of life.

- loceng 3y agoIf you look at a small enough timeframe and a completely free market without setting up rules to the game to keep it an even playing field, then that's an issue, yes. What are your thoughts on patents?
- genewitch 3y agoif there's rules to ensure fairness then it isn't a free market. and if a market with rules could be called a free market, but only for arbitrary slices of time, i'd submit that also isn't a free market. "allow lucky or unscrupulous owners to swallow less lucky or more ethical owners' businesses until there's only 1-3 players left that are too big to start to compete with and too big for the others to buy out."
- loceng 3y agoI find perfectionism gets in the way in such conversations: the goal is aiming for the freest market possible, but no - you can't legally sell services to assassinate people; unless you're the state who has a monopoly on violence. Because on the other side we have people blaming the free market and capitalism in general for the problems, when capitalism is the solution - it's crony capitalism or what I prefer to call it - corruption and things like regulatory capture that's the problem. The problem is heavily industrial complexes' funding and lobbying of politicians, placing politicians who will favour policy for them - is the problem; and it appears that foreign bad actors have also helped certain politicians get elected elsewhere. I like the Democracy Dollars and Journalism Dollars solutions proposed by Andrew Yang during his presidential run to help act as a counterweight to the power of industrial complexes.
