@article{14958, author = {Søren Holm and Catherine Stanton and Benjamin Bartlett}, title = {A new argument for no-fault compensation in health care: the introduction of artificial intelligence systems}, abstract = {AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) systems advising healthcare professionals will be widely introduced into healthcare settings within the next 5–10 years. This paper considers how this will sit with tort/negligence based legal approaches to compensation for medical error. It argues that the introduction of AI systems will provide an additional argument pointing towards no-fault compensation as the better legal solution to compensation for medical error in modern health care systems. The paper falls into four parts. The first part rehearses the main arguments for and against no-fault compensation. The second explains why it is likely that AI systems will be widely introduced. The third part analyses why it is difficult to fit AI systems into fault-based compensation systems while the final part suggests how no-fault compensation could provide a possible solution to such challenges.}, year = {2021}, journal = {Health Care Anal}, volume = {29}, pages = {171-188}, month = {03/2021}, issn = {1065-3058}, doi = {10.1007/s10728-021-00430-4}, }
