AI vendors and health systems may share liability with physicians for clinical AI, AMA says
Legal experts say that, alongside developers and physicians, the health care organizations that deploy clinical AI may also be liable for it. Modern Healthcare also covered the legal risks facing health systems.
Who is affected and how
- hospital manager
- Contracts and deployment processes must set out who bears responsibility when AI tools fail.
- doctor
- Following or overriding an AI recommendation should be documented, because liability is shared.
