About this event
Generative AI tools using large language models such as ChatGPT offer the prospect of reducing physicians’ burnout and focusing their attention on patients, not paperwork. They also entail legal risk, and as the use of AI in healthcare continues to grow in popularity, it’s essential to understand the liability that can accompany such tools. In this session, Dr. Michelle Mello will explore this tension through two illustrative case studies: (1) deploying AI scribes to record and summarize clinical visits; and (2) submitting clinical questions to large language models. This presentation will leave attendees with a better understanding of the risk associated with AI in practice.
Who can attend
Registration is limited to ISMIE and SEMPIC policyholders, and their employed staff.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:
- Summarize the benefits and legal risks of using AI scribes and large language models in clinical care
- Describe the steps needed to minimize liability exposure from use of generative AI tools
