In this episode, we explore the rapid rise of AI scribes in Australian primary care, with around 20% of GPs now using them daily. These tools record consultations, transcribe them, and use AI to generate summarised medical records—helping to save time, improve accuracy, and reduce clinician burnout. While AI scribes offer promising solutions to workforce pressures, they also introduce important medicolegal considerations, especially for supervisors and registrars.
