Dr. Rosemarie Lall says she was overworked and on the brink of scaling back her practice or retiring early when she turned to artificial intelligence in a last-ditch effort to manage mounting paperwork.

A report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimated that Canadian doctors cumulatively spend 48.8 million hours per year on administrative tasks.

Around three to five per cent of Ontario family doctors are using AI scribes, says OntarioMD.

AI scribes have been known to "hallucinate" at times, documenting things that didn't occur or eliminating key information from a patient encounter.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta asked doctors to proceed with "great caution" in its guidance released a year ago .

One quarter of respondents said they would only use the technology if it was free.
