Can I Opt Out of Having My Doctor Take Notes With AI? – Cobb Courier

This article by Katherine Ruppelt, Cara Anthony, and Blake Farmer, Nashville Public Radio, first appeared in KFF Health News, republished with permission. Katherine Ruppelt, Cara Anthony, and Blake Farmer, Nashville Public Radio, April 7, 2026 LISTEN: AI scribes are changing medical care. Here’s what to know if the technology shows up at your next doctor’s appointment. Family physician Eric Boose has been using an artificial intelligence tool to get back to what he calls “old-fashioned medicine” — talking with patients face-to-face, without having to type into a computer at the same time.  “I can really just sit there and engage and just focus on them and listen,” said Boose, who practices at Cleveland Clinic.  Roughly two years ago, he started using an AI notetaker app during patient visits. The tool listens while he talks with patients and then automatically generates a visit summary based on the conversation. The summary is usually ready within seconds after the appointment ends.  “It’s taking care of all that tedious work of charting and taking notes during the visit,” he said. “It’s just freeing up a lot more time to get that done, and I can get home to my family earlier.”  Nearly a third of physician

Snap & Kantar study flags AR’s role in tackling Gen Z ad fatigue

A study by Snap Inc. and Kantar highlights the growing role of augmented reality (AR) in addressing ad fatigue among Gen Z audiences in India. Titled State of AR in India, the report finds that 92% of Indian consumers believe AR will influence how they shop, learn, and interact online. The format is emerging as a key tool for brands seeking higher engagement in a cluttered digital environment. The study indicates that AR formats, particularly lenses, generate higher levels of active attention compared to traditional ad formats. Among Gen Z users, 3 in 5 respondents said AR holds their attention longer than standard posts. Beyond engagement, AR is also influencing purchase behaviour. The report notes that 2 in 3 Gen Z users say AR helps them better understand products and informs their decision to try or buy. Soumya Mohanty, managing director & chief client officer, South Asia, Insights Division, Kantar, said: “The data shows that AR is reshaping consumer decision-making in measurable ways. It enhances understanding, builds believability, and increases intent, three critical drivers of conversion. For marketers, this represents a significant opportunity to rethink how immersive formats can drive effectiveness across the purchase journey, not just awareness.” Adding on

Former Facebook worker investigated by police over download of 30000 private images

A former worker at Meta is being investigated by police over suspicions he downloaded about 30,000 private Facebook images. The engineer is alleged to have designed a programme to access the pictures while avoiding internal security checks, UK court documents show. A specialist detective from the Metropolitan Police's cybercrime unit is investigating. Meta confirmed the suspected breach was discovered more than a year ago and said it referred the matter to police itself. It said affected users had been notified and the worker was sacked. Its security systems have also been upgraded. The engineer, who lives in London, is on bail while the investigation continues. A request to vary his bail conditions was recently granted by Highbury Magistrates' Court. "Protecting user data is our top priority," said a Meta spokesperson. "After discovering improper access by an employee over a year ago, we immediately terminated the individual, notified users, referred the matter to law enforcement and enhanced our security measures. "We are co-operating with the ongoing investigation."

Gov. DeWine appointments to replace two local county judges – Dayton Daily News

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is weighing appointments to two vacant judge seats in Montgomery County courtrooms. The judicial vacancies come after the retirements of Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis Adkins and Montgomery County Juvenile Court Judge Julie Bruns in recent months. Adkins retired at the end of 2025, and Bruns retired in February. The Ohio Supreme Court appointed visiting judges to hear cases for both seats until appointments are selected by the governor. When judges resign from their offices, Ohio’s governor gets to pick who will take over that seat. The Montgomery County Republican Party provided recommendations to the governor's office for both seats, as DeWine is a Republican. Retired Judge Julie Bruns. CONTRIBUTED DeWine’s Press Secretary Dan Tierney said the governor’s office is in the final stages of selecting appointees for the two seats. The governor's appointees will serve until voters pick replacements in the general election this fall. According to the Montgomery County Board of Elections, two Republican candidates have been certified in the May 5 primary race for Adkins’ unfilled term — Greene County Juvenile Court Magistrate Steve Abshire and local attorney Jack Pook. Democratic candidate Richard Glennon is running unopposed in the party primary. Both

LinkedIn caught spying on users browsers – Yahoo Tech

You open LinkedIn, scroll a bit, maybe check a job post, and that’s it, right? Not exactly. A new report suggests LinkedIn has been quietly scanning users’ browsers in the background, checking what extensions you have installed and collecting detailed device info while pages load. And just as you’d expect, it’s raising some eyebrows. According You open LinkedIn, scroll a bit, maybe check a job post, and that’s it, right? Not exactly. A new report suggests LinkedIn has been quietly scanning users’ browsers in the background, checking what extensions you have installed and collecting detailed device info while pages load. And just as you’d expect, it’s raising some eyebrows. According to findings from Fairlinked and testing confirmed by BleepingComputer, LinkedIn loads a JavaScript script when you visit its site. That script does two main things. First, it check whether certain Chrome extensions are installed by probing known extension IDs. Second, it collects device-level information like CPU cores, available memory, screen resolution, time zone, language, and battery status. Why extensions are a big deal here A large number of the extensions being checked are tools that interact with LinkedIn, especially ones used for sales intelligence, recruiting, and lead generation.

Attorney General Sunday Warns Pennsylvanians to Beware of Investment Scams on …

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Dave Sunday is warning Pennsylvanians about the prevalence of fraudulent investment schemes on Meta platforms — including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The warning is part of a coalition of attorneys general’s efforts to prompt accountability from Meta over their platforms, specifically, a more robust review of advertising in response to the rapid spread of fake investment ads involving “pump-and-dump” schemes. Scammers are increasingly using deceptive advertisements and “deepfake” technology to lure potential investors into high-stakes scams. These scams include “pump and dump” scams, confidence scams, and fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes that aim to extract as much money as possible from victims. Attorney General Sunday is providing tips for Pennsylvanians to protect themselves from scams, and urging everyone to carefully scrutinize social media investment advertisements before investing. Most reputable broker-dealers and investment advisors do not post specific investment advice on social media platforms. Attorney General Sunday encourages anyone who may have been a victim of these types of scams to report it to our Bureau of Consumer Protection at 800-441-2555 or sc***@*************al.gov . “We continue to see lures and traps online — fueled by A.I. — that dupe people into emptying their bank accounts in favor of fake
