"Nearly a third of physician practices are using AI scribes and others are working to add the tool, in an effort to cut down on administrative work.
If your practitioner suggests using an AI scribe at your next appointment, here are three things to keep in mind."

Does this build a system that lets someone do something like, say, find all the people of a particular race?
I do not trust that the data is untraceable, too many demonstrations have shown you can just add qualifiers until you get to one person in the set, and we're talking about AI here; the most stealing-est and least deterministic thing to ever exist.
Plus it's the Trump administration and i just expect anything they want must be pushing us towards the jaws of hell, but maybe I'm just prejudiced by *gestures at world*
I don't think that's what the AI is being used for. Usually, electronic medical records will have a certain spot in the chart to indicate race/ethnicity which depending on the system may or may not be based on self-report. Someone could export the demographic data and identify a specific population.
This could be a good thing like when a clinic is working on a quality improvement project and identifying health disparities.
