While acknowledging the impact of technology and artificial intelligence in the field of medicine, the Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan recently sought to remind the medical practitioners that the legal responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment of patients will remain on them and not the machines.
Justice Bhuyan expressed this opinion while speaking at the two-day Commonwealth Medical AI Global Summit in Hyderabad. While pointing out that the growth of technology, which is rapidly transforming the healthcare sector, cannot be reversed, he also highlighted the drawbacks associated with it.
