The Research Handbook on Health, AI and the Law explores the use of AI in healthcare, identifying the important laws and ethical issues that arise from its use. Adopting an international approach, it analyses the varying responses of multiple jurisdictions to the use of AI and examines the influence of major religious and secular ethical traditions.

Bringing together a diverse range of carefully selected legal experts, the Research Handbook critically assesses the different uses of AI in healthcare and its promise to provide greater accuracy for healthcare professionals and patients by diagnosing diseases and detecting illness earlier and helping hospitals run more efficiently. It also highlights a series of legal and ethical challenges AI raises relating to bias, privacy, data security, medical liability, informed consent and intellectual property. AI governance is rigorously examined in countries across the globe spanning Asia, Europe and the US while different responses from international organisations towards AI in healthcare are also evaluated.

This Research Handbook is a key resource for scholars and law students and for those interested in current and developing legal paradigms. Its legal and practical dimensions will also be beneficial to lawyers practising in health law and internet and technology law, policymakers and medical professionals.
