Artificial intelligence (AI) systems advising healthcare professionals will be widely introduced into healthcare settings within the next 5-10 years. This paper considers how this will sit with tort/negligence based legal approaches to compensation for medical error. It argues that the introduction of AI systems will provide an additional argument pointing towards no-fault compensation as the better legal solution to compensation for medical error in modern health care systems. The paper falls into four parts. The first part rehearses the main arguments for and against no-fault compensation. The second explains why it is likely that AI systems will be widely introduced. The third part analyses why it is difficult to fit AI systems into fault-based compensation systems while the final part suggests how no-fault compensation could provide a possible solution to such challenges.
人工智能(AI)系统为医疗专业人员提供建议,将在未来 5-10 年内广泛应用于医疗环境中。本文考虑了这将如何与基于侵权/过失的医疗事故赔偿法律方法相契合。本文认为,引入人工智能系统将为无过错赔偿提供一个额外的论据,指出在现代医疗保健系统中,无过错赔偿是解决医疗事故赔偿的更好法律解决方案。本文分为四个部分。第一部分回顾了无过错赔偿的主要论据。第二部分解释了为什么人工智能系统很可能被广泛引入。第三部分分析了为什么将人工智能系统纳入过失赔偿制度存在困难,而最后一部分则提出了无过错赔偿如何为这些挑战提供可能的解决方案。
