Abstract

Corporate criminal liability in healthcare has gained significant attention as AI-driven technologies increasingly become integral to medical practices. This paper explores the legal and ethical challenges associated with corporate criminal liability in cases of AI-driven medical negligence. As healthcare organizations adopt AI tools to improve patient care, concerns emerge regarding the accountability of these entities when AI systems malfunction, leading to patient harm. The paper delves into the complex intersection of law, technology, and ethics, highlighting key issues such as the delegation of responsibility between healthcare providers, AI developers, and corporate entities. It examines existing legal frameworks and the challenges they pose in addressing AI-induced negligence, particularly in establishing corporate accountability. Ethical considerations, including the balance between technological innovation and patient safety, are explored, along with the potential for AI to either mitigate or exacerbate medical malpractice. The paper concludes with recommendations for reforming corporate liability standards in the healthcare sector to ensure that AI advancements do not undermine patient rights or safety, while maintaining innovation in medical technologies.
