Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a part of our daily lives, but tomorrow it may operate on us just like a doctor. It might sound intriguing, but there are a lot of things that are to be kept in mind, such as the liability part – who shall be responsible if there is an error committed by the AI while conducting surgery becomes a huge question. This must be determined, as this technology is not a distant reality. There are many fields in healthcare, such as diagnosis, assistive care, and surgical bots, and companies have started to work on them. There has been various literature and studies on AI and healthcare such as how it is beneficial, how it shall evolve in the future or transform the world we live in, but we identified that there are two missing aspects - lack of accountability and mechanisms on how to determine it - When there is a mistake on the surgery table, who is to be held accountable and how at that moment becomes a huge question. The Courts and the legislature will have to dive deep into AI to understand, make laws, and pass judgments. The existing laws need to evolve to match the advancement of AI in healthcare, and with that, the paper concludes with suggestions for the liability of AI if something goes wrong.
