Details

How safe is medicine when decisions are made by artificial intelligence? What happens when a misdiagnosis comes from an algorithm rather than a doctor? Intelligent Medicine explores these urgent questions. The book shows how AI transforms patient safety, redefines the medical standard of care and shifts legal responsibility when things go wrong. It provides a clear EU-based perspective while drawing on law, ethics, medicine, and technology. Taking a practical approach, theory meets real-life dilemmas, and the combination offers concrete guidance for professionals, policymakers, and scholars facing the challenges of AI in healthcare.
