Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are now being used by doctors to improve communication with patients, such as answering messages and taking notes during exams. While proponents argue that AI saves time and prevents burnout, concerns about trust, transparency, privacy, and the future of human connection have been raised. The use of AI in doctor-patient communication raises questions about the impact on patients and their consent, as well as the accuracy and potential mistakes made by AI tools. Doctors must ensure the accuracy of AI-generated notes, as large language models can occasionally misinterpret input or fabricate inaccurate responses. Balancing the benefits of AI tools with the need for a human touch is crucial. Privacy is also a concern, with healthcare systems needing to ensure that patient information remains secure when working with AI tools.
