The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is not just an innovation; it can be transformational. With AI's ability to analyze big data sets and support informed decision-making, it has the potential to dramatically improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance operational efficiencies. However, the use of AI technologies in digital health presents a unique set of legal challenges and ethical considerations. This presentation aims to explore these challenges, focusing on privacy concerns, regulatory compliance, liability issues, and the ethical implications of AI decision-making in healthcare.

2. Legal Challenges and Regulatory Landscape: Discuss the legal challenges posed by AI in healthcare, including data privacy, patient consent, anticipated state and federal AI regulations, and fraud and abuse risks.
3. Liability and Ethical Considerations: Explore the liability issues related to AI-driven medical decisions, the role of human oversight, and the ethical considerations in deploying AI solutions that impact patient care.
