Californians sue over AI tool that records doctor visits

A proposed class action against Sharp HealthCare alleges that clinicians used an AI scribe tool to record patient visits without patient consent, placing California's privacy regulations under renewed scrutiny. AI scribes are software applications that listen to clinical encounters in real time, transcribe conversations, and generate structured visit summaries. Legal recording consent requirements vary significantly by state, making adequate consent thresholds a central issue in such litigation.
