Concerns about patient rights and AI in healthcare

Lawyer Hannah van Kolfschooten warned that the healthcare sector is too strongly guided by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. She said AI tools can work differently in a chaotic hospital environment than in testing conditions, while doctors do not always have clear guidance on using them safely.

Van Kolfschooten said it was unfair to expect doctors to provide proper care while also applying the rules for AI use themselves.
