AI note-taking enters the therapy room

WUNC's May 26 story on therapists using AI to take notes captures one of the clearest real-world healthcare AI tradeoffs. The tool can record a session, transcribe it, and generate a draft clinical note for a therapist to review, reducing administrative work. But therapy is also one of the most trust-sensitive settings imaginable. Patients may react differently if they know an AI system is listening, and clinicians need to explain where recordings go, how notes are stored, what vendors can access, and whether consent is meaningful. This is not a generic productivity story. It is a reminder that AI products in mental health and healthcare need a higher bar than normal office software.
