Ontario's Office of the Auditor General found that AI Scribe note-takers used by doctors routinely misreport facts, fabricate information, and miss key details in patient notes. Evaluations showed accuracy mattered little in the scoring, prompting calls for manual review and better safeguards; about 5,000 physicians are using the program with no known patient harms reported yet.
