October 28: Legal and Ethical Issues of Medical AI

Case Western Reserve University School of Law logo 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 address questions of liability, informed consent, and documentation, especially when clinicians and AI models disagree.

His work has appeared in Science, Nature, JAMA, NEJM, and leading law reviews. He teaches patents, health law, life sciences innovation, AI law, and science fiction and the law.
