Who is liable when AI makes a mistake? Hungarian professional and legal debate on healthcare software
Hungarian professional forums are examining liability for errors by AI-based diagnostic and decision-support tools: the algorithm errs, the doctor approves, the patient is harmed. Clinicians report limited trust.
Who is affected and how
- doctor
- The doctor bears responsibility for approval, so overrides of AI suggestions should be documented.
- health policy
- Domestic liability rules need clarification.
- hospital manager
- Liability sharing should be set out in the contract when procuring AI tools.
