Legal and Ethical Issues of Medical AI
Event Description
This event is in-person for students only and virtual for everyone else.
As AI increasingly enters clinical practice, several legal and ethical issues confront clinicians, health systems, and patients. Who is liable when things go wrong? What should patients be told, and to what do they need to consent? What should be written down in the clinical record? This talk will touch on questions of liability, informed consent, and documentation, especially when clinicians and AI models disagree.
