The introduction of AI to the operating theater doesn’t always work out as expected. Reuters has published a detailed report, with examples taken from lawsuits involving three ‘AI-enhanced’ medical machines. In the most excruciating example of an AI-assisted medical device going wrong, the ‘enhanced’ system is blamed for causing major medical emergencies, resulting in blood spraying around the operating room, and causing victims to suffer strokes.
Before we go into detail, it must be noted that the FDA reports seen by Reuters aren’t complete, so don't definitively indicate the introduction of AI was the root cause behind the increase in mishaps. However, lawsuits are pushing the argument that AI contributed to the injuries that occurred since the medical machinery ‘enhancements’ arrived.
