Legal issues of applying artificial intelligence in healthcare

The aim of this study is to identify the existing challenges associated with the use of digital technologies, including elements of artificial intelligence (AI), in the provision of medical care to patients. The study highlights the position according to which a whole range of modern problems related to the application of artificial intelligence in medical practice arises from the lack of legal regulation governing these social relations. Classical legal norms are not always applicable to AI, thereby creating legal uncertainty. The ways of possible overcoming and elimination of these problems of legal regulation of public relations in the considered social sphere of activity are proposed. Furthermore, an analysis is conducted of various legal acts at both the international and national (Russian) levels that pertain to the regulation of artificial intelligence, particularly concerning risks and requirements related to transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations.
