GiuriCivile discusses the legal challenges of integrating AI into the medical field in Italy, focusing on liability and regulatory perspectives. As AI becomes increasingly involved in diagnostics and treatment recommendations, questions about liability in cases of medical errors are becoming more urgent. The article explores whether responsibility for AI-driven medical decisions should fall on healthcare professionals, AI developers, or healthcare institutions.

Legal experts suggest that existing liability frameworks need to be updated to address the complexities introduced by AI, such as algorithmic transparency and the foreseeability of AI-driven decisions. The Italian legal system is considering new regulations to clarify liability and ensure that patients’ rights are protected without stifling AI innovation. The discussion reflects broader European Union efforts to establish comprehensive regulations for AI in healthcare.
