When AI Gets Medicine Wrong, Who Is Liable?

Original: When AI Gets Medicine Wrong, Who’s Liable?

A debate is unfolding over legal accountability when artificial intelligence systems make errors in medical care. As AI tools move into diagnosis, treatment recommendations and clinical workflows, doctors, hospitals and technology developers are all potential defendants. The core question: does responsibility rest with the physician who followed the algorithm, the hospital that deployed it, or the company that built it. Legal frameworks have not kept pace.

Why now: Rapid adoption of AI in clinical settings is outpacing existing medical liability law, prompting urgent debate among doctors, hospitals and regulators.
