AI could make it harder to establish blame for medical failings, experts say (The Guardian)

A report from a JAMA summit warns that the growing use of AI in healthcare could complicate liability in cases of medical failings. Experts including Prof Derek Angus (University of Pittsburgh) and Prof Glenn Cohen (Harvard Law School) highlighted challenges for patients proving fault, citing opaque AI designs and contractual shifts of responsibility. The report also notes weak regulatory oversight and limited real-world testing, stressing that the most widely adopted AI tools are often the least evaluated — raising risks for patients and providers alike.
