The data ownership issue is interesting... I just know it can't be ethically owned by those with an incentive to profit from selling random snake oils or jack up insurance premiums. But lol those in positions of power won't care about ethics in the postmodern cyberpunk society.
AI infiltration into medicine is inevitable. Putting it in charge of triage at this point seems like a bad idea. They should start with less critical decision-making, like supplies and routine scheduling. And ultimately, the person in charge is really the one responsible.
But it'll continue to improve with time. The rollout and implementation just need to be smarter. Rushing it always leads to things like that poor psychologist.
Regarding data. I truly hope the patients get to own their data. There are ways to secure it and it certainly holds the providers to another level of care if they know relevant information is going to their patients. The question would be whether or not this has a cooling effect on physicians who are worried that their patients will be reading their notes. Because typically they don't and most physicians write their notes to that effect. But physicians can learn to write their notes more objectively.
Anyway, point is that the data should belong to the patient. And no, the current system doesn't incentivize this. They are incentivized by hiding things and creating byzantine/opaque systems that are painful to utilize. Especially in a pay-to-play medical system like the one in the US.
We'll see how many more of these cases need to happen, before people figure out exactly how to use "AI" in medicine. https://oecd.ai/en/incidents/2026-06-14-1dd4
