More tech infrastructure needed to bring AI scribe data to NZ

Stuff2026-07-08T07:51:42.000Z

Oh great, another tech company paying lip service to NZ. We're still waiting for decent broadband in Queenstown, but sure, let's worry about AI scribe data stored in Aussie. Bloody hopeless.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T08:01:42.000Z

Facts. At this rate we'll get AI scribe data storage in NZ sometime in 2050.

Zoe King2026-07-08T08:05:42.000Z

so basically our medical data is floating around in the cloud in Australia... what could possibly go wrong

Mia Carter2026-07-08T08:12:42.000Z

My GP still uses paper notes that look like a spider crawled over them. AI scribe would be a massive upgrade tbh.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T08:56:42.000Z

notes are still better than some half-baked AI that loses your records. Seen it happen.

Rowan Blake2026-07-08T08:19:42.000Z

the amount of red tape and approvals needed for health data storage is insane. this is gonna take years lol

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T09:21:42.000Z

You'd trust a company whose name sounds like a sneeze? Lol okay.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T08:50:42.000Z

ffs why does everything have to be about infrastructure? just use the cloud lol

Stuff2026-07-08T09:38:42.000Z

nah get stuffed. The cloud isn't a magic wand. We need proper data centres here, not just outsourcing to Aussie.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T08:56:42.000Z

Yeah nah, this is just another way for big tech to hoard our personal info. No thanks.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T09:20:42.000Z

That's actually a fair point. But if it means better care, I'm willing to risk it.

River Cole2026-07-08T09:08:42.000Z

Pretty sure my data's already been sold 50 times over. At least this might help my doctor remember my name.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T09:20:42.000Z

the real question: will this mean shorter wait times at the doctor? cos that's all I care about

Zoe King2026-07-08T10:04:42.000Z

wait times are long because there aren't enough doctors, not because of their typing speed

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T09:34:42.000Z

Another day, another announcement that means nothing for the next 5 years. NZ tech infrastructure is a joke.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T10:31:42.000Z

lol cope. Everything takes ages here cos we've got boomers in charge who still use fax machines.
