Who’s Responsible When AI Fails in Europe? Robotics, Medicine, and Liability Across the EU
27 Feb 2025
The intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare within the framework of European regulations, focusing specifically on medical malpractice. It highlights the transformative potential of these technologies while addressing the complex legal and ethical challenges they introduce. A central theme is the assignment of responsibility when AI systems or robots cause harm, examining concepts like "electronic persons" and strict liability. The authors analyze existing European regulations and official reports to assess their adequacy in addressing these novel situations. The document argues for the need for specific legislation to govern medical liability in cases involving AI and robotics. Ultimately, the analysis advocates for a balanced approach that safeguards patient rights while fostering technological innovation.
