AI is the hot new kid on the block, and it is currently being used in just about every industry.  With the medical establishment making headway in clinical discoveries, patient outcomes, data management, the enhancement of diagnostic accuracy, predicting the progress of disease and helping streamline workflows. That said, AI is not the bright and shiny savior that was predicted and this is due to the fact that hospitals and medical professionals are becoming inundated with issues such as delayed treatments, misdiagnoses, equipment malfunctions, prescriptions mix-ups, and so much more, all leading to patient harm.

In such instances, patients may wonder if there is any legal recourse they can pursue, particularly due to the novel nature of artificial intelligence and whether medical malpractice accounts for new technologies.

Who’s Liable for AI Medical Errors?

Determining liability can become a complex affair. Was the party at fault the hospital that used these AI algorithms, or the firm that implemented the systems in the hotel computers, or the software developer that developed the AI in the first place? Or is the at-fault party the human that implemented the AI system in their diagnostic decisions?

Given the uncharted waters associated with AI, the question of liability is thrust into unclear and muddy waters that only a seasoned injury attorney can tease out according to the legal changes and precedents linked to AI in our current legal department.

Read on to find out how McCready Law meets these unique challenges head-on, helping clients injured by AI diagnostic errors get the compensation they truly deserve.

AI Algorithms in Hospitals and Diagnostics – A Boon or a Curse?

Artificial intelligence has been adopted in countless medical facilities in the US as it has proven to be a boon with regard to its ability to analyze and process vast amounts of data in an effort to identify patterns which may not be immediately visible to the human eye.

In particular, AI algorithms have proven useful in the following medial processes:

1. The detection of subtle anomalies in medical images such as CT scans, MRIs and x-rays
2. The interpretation of lab results
3. The prediction of the likelihood diseases based on patient data

While all this sounds great and dandy, what is becoming apparent is that algorithms are not only imperfect, but that they are only as accurate as the data they are trained on, and that the biases contained in this data can lead to incorrect outputs. In addition, some sophisticated AI models have a black box which can complicate issues when it comes to trying to understand how a specific diagnostic conclusion was reached.

Some of the potential liable parties when it comes to AI misdiagnosis include:

1. The clinic or hospital that is implementing the AI diagnostic tools as they owe you a duty of care in ensuring these technologies are responsibly used and that they are safe and cleared for use on patients. If safeguards aren’t used such as the proper training of staff o AI use, the verification of AI-generated results as well as ongoing monitoring of AI, hospital management may be held liable for your malpractice injuries
2. The AI manufacturer or developer may also be held liable if it is discovered that the AI algorithm contained inherent flaws or was trained on data that contained biases which then lead to systemic errors or lacked disclaimers regarding its limitations
3. The clinician who applied the AI diagnostic tool may also be liable for your health complications arising out of the same as it is ultimately the core responsibility of the clinician to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment takes place. AI is just a tool, and these professionals are required to exercise their professional judgment to ensure effective and safe patient treatment.
