Who's really liable when your AI scribe makes a mistake?

Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes are software that listens to a patient visit and automatically drafts a clinical note. They have moved from novelty to near-standard equipment in primary care in just a few years. They save time, ease documentation burden, and can improve how physicians engage with patients during the visit. But they also raise a question that many physicians haven't fully worked through: When an AI-generated note contains an error, who actually bears the legal and financial consequences?
