Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI), a concept which dates back to the 1950s, is increasingly being developed by many medical specialties, especially those based on imaging or surgery. While the cognitive component of AI is far superior to that of human intelligence, it lacks consciousness, feelings, intuition and adaptation to unexpected situations. Furthermore, fundamental questions arise with regard to data security, the impact on healthcare professions, and the distribution of roles between physicians and AI especially concerning consent to medical care and liability in the event of a therapeutic accident.
