Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in healthcare and has potential to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare services. As the utility of AI expands, medical-legal questions arise regarding the possible legal implications of incorporating AI into clinical practice. Particularly, the unique black box nature of AI brings distinct challenges. There is limited guidance addressing liability when AI is used in clinical practice, and traditional legal principles present limitations when applied to novel uses of AI. Comprehensive solutions to address the challenges of AI have not been well established in North America. As AI continues to evolve in healthcare, appropriate guidance from professional regulatory bodies may help the medical field realize AI's utility and encourage its safe use. As the options for AI in medicine evolve, physicians and health leaders would be prudent to consider the evolving medical-legal context regarding use of AI in clinical practices and facilities.
人工智能（AI）在医疗保健领域越来越普遍，有潜力提高医疗服务的效率和质量。随着 AI 的应用不断扩大，在将 AI 纳入临床实践方面出现了一些与法律有关的问题，涉及到可能的法律影响。特别是，AI 的独特黑箱性质带来了独特的挑战。当 AI 在临床实践中使用时，关于责任的指导有限，而当将传统法律原则应用于 AI 的新用途时，这些原则也存在局限性。在北美，尚未很好地建立解决 AI 挑战的综合解决方案。随着 AI 在医疗保健领域的不断发展，来自专业监管机构的适当指导可能有助于医疗领域实现 AI 的实用性，并鼓励其安全使用。随着 AI 在医学中的应用选项不断发展，医生和医疗保健领导者明智的做法是考虑在临床实践和医疗机构中使用 AI 方面不断发展的医疗法律背景。
