Meta on Monday was fined a record 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion) and ordered to stop transferring data collected
from Facebook users in Europe to the United States, in a major ruling against the social media company for
The penalty, announced by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, is potentially one of the most consequential in
the five years since the European Union enacted the landmark data privacy law known as the General Data
Protection Regulation. Regulators said the company failed to comply with a 2020 decision by the European Union’s
highest court that Facebook data shipped across the Atlantic was not sufficiently protected from American spy
agencies. But it remains unclear if or when Meta will ever need to cordon off the data of Facebook users in Europe.
Meta said it would appeal the decision, setting up a potentially lengthy legal process. At the same time, European
Union and American officials are negotiating a new data-sharing pact that would provide legal protections for Meta
and scores of other companies to continue moving information between the United States and Europe — a pact
that could nullify much of the European Union’s ruling on Monday. A preliminary deal was announced last year. The
ruling, which comes with a grace period of at least five months before Meta needs to comply, applies only to
Facebook and not to Instagram and WhatsApp, which Meta also owns. The company said there would be no
immediate disruption to Facebook’s service in the European Union. Still, the E.U. decision shows how government
policies are upending the borderless way that data has traditionally moved. As a result of data-protection rules,
national security laws, and other regulations, companies are increasingly being pushed to store data within the
country where it is collected, rather than allowing it to move freely to data centers around the world.
The case against Meta stems from U.S. policies that give intelligence agencies the ability to intercept
communications from abroad, including digital correspondence. In 2020, an Austrian privacy activist, Max Schrems,

Ambient computing using voice and other conversational interfaces is an exciting area, and several startups are
However, the progress towards more intelligent uses of voice recognition for clinical decision support has been
slow. As mentioned earlier, separating the clinical terminology from other aspects of the conversation is a non-
trivial challenge, implying that voice-recognition technology fits in well with some specialties but not others.
Regardless of the pace of adoption, most providers see a reduction in clinician burnout for those using it. Speech
recognition software can transcribe encounters three times faster than a human typing into a clinical system,
potentially freeing up a couple of hours a day for a typical caregiver who sees twenty to thirty patients a day. We
can only hope that we will see higher adoption rates as the technology gets better and needs less and less human
involvement in reviewing the note. The entry of big tech into the voice space will hopefully result in significant new
investments that will advance AI tools and intelligent automation of aspects such as coding and quality abstraction
from encounter notes. Today, a vital consideration for automation with voice-enablement and similar technologies
is that it can help providers get through the high demand and low staffing levels across the board in healthcare –
compounded by the "Great Resignation". Allowing clinicians to perform the most demanding in-person work with
the highest and most complex patients also means using technology to assist those patients who don't have high
acuity needs – something we have seen work very effectively with telehealth and virtual consults in primary care
and specialties such as behavioral health. As ambient technologies improve, additional use cases to leverage voice
will emerge.
That leaves us with the question of how patients are responding to voice-enabled tools in ______ (21) healthcare
encounters. Early indications are that most patients accept ambient technologies because they provide an
opportunity to regain the intimacy of their relationship with their provider, which was lost to the burdensome
requirements of documentation in the EHR. However, questions around data privacy and patient education about
ambient technologies suggest that voice-enabled applications will need to tread carefully. At a broad level, voice-
recognition technology's true potential lies in going beyond documentation and becoming an intelligent decision
support tool through effective listening for clinical indicators and proactively supporting clinical decisions. The level
of integration between emerging technology tools and core clinical platforms such as EHR is a significant factor in
IBPS PO 2023 Mains Previous Year Paper (5th Nov Shift 1)
increasing adoption rates. Today's fundamental challenge for voice recognition in ambient computing is the same
As with all new technologies, voice-enabled solutions will stand a better chance of broad adoption by addressing
important and urgent problems in care delivery, which builds support from clinician owners and champions inside

What is the early response of patients to voice-enabled tools in healthcare encounters, as suggested in the
passage?
Options :
2. Most patients embrace ambient technologies to enhance their rapport with healthcare providers
