Abstract

This contribution explores the implications of the EU legal framework for the use of AI in health care, with a focus on the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. The AI Act, currently the most specific legal AI document, is not tailored to health care and the provisions that focus on the deployer (in this case the physician) lack specificity. Ultimately, we identify five elements for responsible AI usage in medical decision-making that, in our view, should be included in practical guidance, established by the medical profession.
