Abstract
The paper examines the specific features of applying artificial intelligence technologies in the healthcare system, including issues of physicians’ personal liability when making diagnostic and treatment decisions based on an algorithm’s recommendation (decision). The study provides a review of the current legal framework governing the liability of healthcare professionals and assesses possible options for allocating liability arising from the integration of artificial intelligence into physicians’ work. The author examines possible directions for legislative improvement and identifies the particular challenges that medical organizations, healthcare professionals and patients receiving care with intelligent systems may face. Trends in the allocation of liability for harm caused in the provision of medical care are analyzed, enabling the development of potential models for distributing responsibility between medical institutions and individual practitioners in the future.
