That “black box” AI algorithm your practice just bought might look sleek on a demo screen—but when something goes wrong, it won’t be the software company signing the report. It’ll be you. In this episode of Contrast & Clarity, Maddi and Jeff interview Ken Davis, Senior Counsel in Healthcare at Katten Law Firm, for a no-fluff conversation about the intersection of radiology, contract law, and the use of artificial intelligence. Together, we dive into the legal realities of AI implementation – and the due diligence that radiologists can’t afford to ignore. We explore questions like:· What kind of due diligence should practices perform before deploying AI?· How do clinical vs. nonclinical AI tools differ from a liability standpoint?· Why is it important to try to see beyond the black box nature of an algorithm?· What should new radiologists know about the AI their group uses? If your practice is using AI – or considering it – this episode is your legal reality check.
