‘From drug discovery to personalised medicine, or merely easing the administrative load of overstretched medical professionals, artificial intelligence can make healthcare more effective and efficient. Yet the ethical and legal perils of “automated medicine” are easily seen. This Research Handbook surveys the diversity of practices, ethical frameworks, and emergent laws in this space. It will be of interest to practitioners and scholars, as well as anyone seeking to understand how AI can reshape a profession and its norms.’

‘Solaiman and Cohen have assembled a comprehensive yet nuanced examination of how Artificial Intelligence is disrupting healthcare and medicine. This Research Handbook examines the key legal issues facing medical AI from patient consent and secular ethics to medical device regulation and algorithmic accountability. Contributions from eminent legal scholars across the globe result in a volume that is as cutting edge as it is a joy to read. This invaluable research and teaching resource effortlessly weaves together legal, ethical, political, and technical analysis. This is now the field’s essential reference point for academics, lawyers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals wanting to understand medical AI and the law.’
