AI in Medicine and the Standard of Care
Original language description
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice raises pressing legal and ethical questions, including those in relation to the professional standard of care. While international legal instruments, most notably the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine, require that all medical interventions be conducted in accordance with relevant professional obligations and standards, the nature of these standards is evolving in response to new technologies. This paper explores how AI affects the legal and regulatory framework surrounding the provision of healthcare, focusing on international law, European Union regulations (especially the AI Act and Medical Device Regulation), and national legal norms. We argue that although current AI systems mostly function in assistive roles and do not alter the ultimate legal responsibility of healthcare professionals, their use is increasingly shaping expectations around good clinical practice. The standard of care is being redefined not only by legislation and guidelines but also through unwritten norms and expert opinion. As AI systems potentially become more autonomous and widespread, the allocation of legal duties might shift, potentially away from individual practitioners toward manufacturers and system providers. Nevertheless, until such systems reach general and reliable autonomy, human oversight remains essential, and compliance with evolving professional standards will be the key to ensuring lawful and ethical AI deployment in medicine.
