Doctors Are Using AI to Take Notes—What It Means for Your Privacy You walk into the exam room, sit down, and start describing your symptoms to your doctor. A few minutes later, you notice your physician isn’t typing or writing much. Instead, a small device or a smartphone is sitting on the desk, quietly recording the conversation. That recording is being processed by an AI scribe—software that listens, transcribes, and summarises the visit into clinical notes. ...

AI Scribes Are Listening: What Patients Should Know About Privacy Risks You might have noticed your doctor typing less during appointments and instead glancing at a screen, sometimes with a small microphone on the desk. Increasingly, that shift involves an AI scribe—software that listens to the conversation between you and your clinician, transcribes it in real time, and generates clinical notes automatically. The technology promises to save physicians hours of paperwork and let them focus more on you. But it also raises serious privacy questions, and governments are starting to take notice. ...

Meta’s Keystroke Tracking for AI: What You Need to Know and How to Protect Your Privacy In mid-2026, reports surfaced that Meta had been collecting keystroke and mouse‑click data from some of its employees and using that information to train its AI models.

How to Protect Your Keystrokes from Meta’s AI Training: A Privacy Guide Over the past year, Meta has quietly built and then scaled back an internal tool that records employees’ keystrokes, mouse clicks, and other on-screen activity to train its artificial intelligence systems. While the tool was initially deployed for productivity analysis, reports suggest it also fed data into Meta’s broader AI training pipelines. The news has prompted privacy questions that go beyond the company’s own workforce: if Meta is willing to collect such granular behavioral data from its employees, what might it do—or already be doing—with user typing patterns across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp? ...
