Description

Abstract: This chapter examines the role of liability in shaping the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. It examines various forms of liability—physician medical malpractice, lack of informed consent, corporate liability for hospitals, and developer liability. Finally, it turns to the preemption of liability and regulation. This chapter focuses primarily on US law, with some reference to EU law.
