[Healthcare democracy put to the test by artificial intelligence]

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare represents a legal challenge regarding patient self-determination. Although patients must be informed about the use of this technology in their care, the processing of their personal data and the results generated, they cannot specifically consent to its use. Moreover, any medical decision assisted by AI must remain human: it must stem from a shared reflection between the health professional and the patient.
