3 questions decision makers must ask about AI and liability: As the developers of artificial intelligence charge ahead, clinicians and health care institutions must temper their optimism with caution.

The article discusses the advancements and potential risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. It highlights how AI tools are being used to streamline administrative tasks and improve clinical decision-making. However, concerns about liability arise as AI becomes more integrated into patient care. The article suggests that decision-makers should ask three key questions to mitigate risks: 1) What are the stakes if the AI application can take autonomous action? 2) How does the current standard of care accommodate human intelligence augmented by technology? 3) How can clinicians and organizations make choices to promote patient safety while documenting those choices for the future? The article emphasizes the need for caution and ongoing assessment of AI implementation in healthcare. [Extracted from the article]
