The AI arc and interpretive drift

Artificial intelligence now enters the clinical encounter at three points: before the visit, during clinical reasoning, and after it, when ambient tools generate the note. AI has the potential to adversely influence the diagnostic process at each of these steps. This opinion piece names interpretive drift, the subtle shift in meaning that occurs as a patient's account moves through an AI-generated summary and into the medical record. It argues that reviewing AI-generated documentation is a diagnostic safety prac…

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1030 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
