Jenn Geetter discusses AI legal liability risks for health systems with Modern Healthcare

In a recent Modern Healthcare article, Jenn Geetter discusses the growing legal liability risks facing health systems as they expand their use of artificial intelligence, including the exposure created by “shadow AI.”

Jenn explains that liability for AI-related clinical errors turns on the same factors that apply to other technologies, such as whether the tool performed as intended and within its specifications, and on fact-intensive questions about whether the problem was the tool or how it was used. She also stresses that vetting a tool isn’t enough, and that health systems need a post-deployment risk strategy that includes monitoring the tool for signs of degradation and confirming it is trained on the right data.
