[Medicine and artificial intelligence. An ethical and legal perspective].

Abstract

The development and use of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported medicine does not take place in a legal vacuum but within a traditional and well-established ethical and legal framework. Relevant legal issues relate to compensation for malpractice, criminal responsibility and data protection. Added to this is the European Union's new AI Act. These regulations must be applied in such a way that the use of AI in medicine is not prevented but only restricted and controlled in the interests of the patients.
