The American Medical Association (AMA) is seeking federal and state legislation to protect doctors from legal liability when artificial intelligence (AI) tools cause harm to patients, provided physicians use the technology as intended.
According to Axios, the medical body also wants AI developers to maintain adequate liability insurance and disclose product limitations and performance data.
The AMA argues that responsibility for harmful AI-driven decisions should rest with software manufacturers, vendors and healthcare institutions that mandate their use.
The debate also raises questions about accountability when AI systems make decisions with limited human oversight. Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Administration is considering whether existing regulations are sufficient to oversee AI-powered medical devices.
