AI doesn’t just analyse medicine. It now writes it.

Описание: Generative AI is reshaping clinical documentation by enabling the automated drafting of medical reports, consultation summaries, patient letters and imaging notes. These systems rely on large language models trained to internalize the structure, vocabulary and reasoning patterns of medical language, allowing them to transform raw clinical data into coherent, well-formatted text.
The advantages are tangible. Automating repetitive documentation tasks significantly reduces administrative burden, improves the readability and standardisation of medical records, and frees up clinicians to focus on direct patient care. In a healthcare environment marked by staff shortages and rising demand, this shift is more than a convenience — it is a structural relief for the system.
Yet the risks are equally substantial. Generative models can fabricate details, a phenomenon known as “hallucination”, producing statements that appear plausible but are clinically false. They can also amplify existing biases present in the training data or misinterpret a consultation, leading to omissions or distortions that jeopardise patient safety. Their sensitivity to context remains limited: a subtle change in wording, a missing nuance or an ambiguous clinical cue can alter the diagnostic or therapeutic meaning of a document.
This raises a fundamental question: where does responsibility begin and end when AI contributes to clinical decision-making? If a generated report contains a harmful error, who is accountable — the physician who validated it, the hospital that deployed it, or the developer who built the model? The legal and ethical frameworks are still evolving, and the stakes are high.

For VOCE, the role of generative AI in medicine must remain educational and assistive, never authoritative. These systems can support clinicians, lighten cognitive load and improve efficiency, but they must not replace human judgement. Understanding how generative tools work, what they can and cannot guarantee, and how to supervise them properly is essential to protect clinical integrity.
Using AI responsibly means keeping the human clinician — not the algorithm — at the centre of care. With the right safeguards, generative models can enhance medicine rather than distort it.

With VOCE, learn how to use generative AI in the clinic without compromising ethics or patient safety.

L’IA generativa può scrivere documentazione clinica, ma rischia errori e bias che impattano la sicurezza dei pazienti.

Generativna AI pomaže u pisanju kliničkih bilješki, ali može stvoriti pogreške i pristranost.

L’IA générative transforme la documentation clinique en permettant la rédaction automatisée de comptes rendus, synthèses de consultation, lettres au patient ou rapports d’imagerie. Cette technologie repose sur des modèles capables d’apprendre la structure du langage médical et de produire des textes cohérents à partir de données brutes.
Les bénéfices sont réels : réduction du temps administratif, meilleure lisibilité des dossiers et disponibilité accrue pour le soin. Pourtant, les risques sont considérables.
Les modèles génératifs peuvent inventer des informations (“hallucinations”), amplifier des biais déjà présents dans les données d’entraînement ou résumer incorrectement une consultation, ce qui compromet la sécurité du patient. Leur sensibilité au contexte est limitée : un changement subtil dans la formulation peut modifier le sens clinique.
La question de la responsabilité devient centrale : qui est responsable si une erreur générée par l’IA cause un dommage ? Le médecin ? L’hôpital ? Le développeur ?
Pour VOCE, le rôle de l’IA générative doit être pédagogique et assistif, jamais décisionnel. Comprendre ces outils permet de mieux les encadrer, de les utiliser avec vigilance et de préserver l’éthique du soin.

Avec VOCE, apprenez à utiliser l’IA générative en clinique sans perdre l’éthique.
