Die zivilrechtliche Haftung des Arztes und des Medizinprodukteherstellers bei der Anwendung Künstlicher Intelligenz zur Diagnostik

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being integrated into medical diagnostics and promises more accurate, earlier, and more efficient decision-making. But who is liable when AI systems produce incorrect diagnoses? This dissertation examines this question through the lens of the civil liability of doctors and medical device manufacturers towards patients. It focuses on the specific features of AI-based decision-making in both assistive and substitutive uses. On this basis, liability risks, potential liability gaps, and shifts in responsibility are analysed, and avenues for a more appropriate future allocation of risk are explored. In addition, European regulatory approaches and their interaction with liability law are examined. The work is aimed at lawyers specializing in medical law, product liability law, and liability law, regulatory authorities, and stakeholders in the healthcare sector. It is a legal dissertation focusing on medical and product liability law and artificial intelligence.
