의료분야에서 인공지능(AI) 활용과 법적 논점 = The Use Of Artificial Intelligence(AI) In The Medical Field And Legal Issues

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the advent of deep learning, which learns on its own and sets new judgment standards, the medical field will grow rapidly as a vast amount of data is integratedly used, interpreted, and learned by artificial intelligence (AI). In particular, surgical support robots will integrate various image data and provide optimal treatment methods to patients based on information on electronic medical records. Furthermore, genome maps will be interpreted to predict the occurrence of diseases through combination with clinical information, and patient data will be monitored to prevent serious diseases according to the patient's medical risk and to respond appropriately to emergency situations. Therefore, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field is very beneficial to doctors and patients.
However, the following legal issues may arise. First of all, diagnosing using artificial intelligence (AI) may cause problems with the patient's right to self-determination or diagnosis and administration of the patient's disease on the premise of the doctor's duty to explain. Third, surgical robots pose a risk of life infringement, so there is also a problem with the doctor's duty of care using them, and finally, to what extent secondary or accidental findings should be provided to patients in the interpretation and management of genetic information by artificial intelligence (AI). This paper reviewed legal issues on these issues.
