Just heard some sad news: Peter Barton Hutt has passed away. I think it’s fair to say he was the most important food and drug lawyer in the country. In January, every year, he’d teach a wonderful course at my school. I wrote a long essay on cheese regulation for him. RIP www.peterbartonhutt.com

Ambient AI documentation tools carry legal risks around consent, data transmission, and state recording laws. A new Perspective outlines strategies to mitigate liability and support transparent implementation. nej.md/43esKuR #ArtificialIntelligence #AIinMedicine
The image is a table titled "Table 1. States with All-Party or Mixed Consent Requirements for Audio Recording." It has three columns: "Category," "States," and "Implication for Clinical Ambient AI Deployment." The table lists different categories of consent, corresponding states, and implications for AI deployment. Notable entries include all-party consent required in states like California and Florida, and in-person consent in states like Oregon and Illinois.
