Dr Owen Bradfield is presenting When Algorithms Write the Record – AI Scribes and the legal Obligations of doctors for the Australian Centre for Health Law Research (QUT Brisbane or online access).
Precis:
The last two years has witnessed a rapid rise in the use of AI in healthcare, from AI-powered pathology and radiology tests to the use of AI scribes in the clinical consultation. It is now estimated that up to a quarter of Australian GPs are using or preparing to use an AI scribe in their daily clinical practice. While the potential benefits are undeniable, there are legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional issues that also need to be understood, including consent and privacy. As new uses and functionalities are added to AI scribes, this also raises questions over their unregulated use and the weight courts will attach to AI-generated records in the context of civil litigation.
The Australian Centre for Health Law Research is proud to present this event as the first in their series for 2026. We hope you will join us to hear Dr Owen Bradfield MBBS(Hons), BMedSc(Hons), LLB, MBA, PhD, GAICD, FRACGP, deliver the Public Lecture When Algorithms Write the Record – AI Scribes and the legal Obligations of doctors.
