The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare and medicine - legal aspects

The advancement of technology in the last few decades has brought significant changes in various fields, especially in medicine and healthcare. The number of Artificial Intelligence-Based Healthcare Mobile Apps has grown significantly over the past few years. The application of AI in medicine and healthcare has, on one hand, brought numerous benefits, but on the other it has opened up different questions, primarily in terms of the safety of their application and liability. This also led to the question of whether the traditional way of legal regulation in the field of medicine and healthcare can be applied when it comes to new AI technologies and medical tools. The results of the research showed that it is necessary to change the existing legislation and/or adopt a new one. In the research we analysed new EU Artificial intelligence act and Serbian health regulations. The AI Act brought some significant changes. Based on the research that we conducted it can be concluded that the legal regulation does not keep pace with the changes brought by innovations, such as the application of AI in medicine and healthcare, but the legislation in this domain in Serbia lags behind.
