When Doctors and AI Interact: on Human Responsibility for Artificial Risks

“…Therefore, "the overreliance on theories that explain why something might be the case has sometimes made it more difficult to validate the empirical claims derived from such theories, with disastrous effects". On controversial medical knowledge, its communication to nonexperts in legal, social, and clinical contexts, and the relationships between overreliance on science and social lack of trust, see also Perin, 2021. We need to design a model of distribution and allocation of responsibility consistent with the necessary human medical intervention, but that also allows for the advantages offered by AI systems in medicine, namely, efficiency and cost reduction. A normative model of responsibility consistent with these premises should then generate the conditions for increasing trust in collaborative teams composed by professionals (i.e., humans) and AI systems (Braun et al, 2020, p. 3).…”
