Doctors will remain responsible for medical decisions made with the help of artificial intelligence, First Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Rostislav Konyashkin said, Orda.kz reports.
According to him, AI does not have legal personhood and therefore cannot bear responsibility. It serves only as a tool that assists a specialist. In Kazakhstan, an AI assistant for doctors has recently been launched that can document conversations with patients, analyze test results and help support diagnoses.
He also noted that clinics are not required to use one specific AI tool. The choice, he said, is left to medical institutions and doctors themselves.
This is not a state system that we are forcing everyone to implement on a mass scale. It is a tool. Every clinic now has the opportunity to purchase equipment. Each clinic can buy certain tools, including those not related to artificial intelligence, which doctors then use in their work.Konyashkin said.
According to him, artificial intelligence can quickly analyze CT scans and point to potential risks, but the final diagnosis is still made by the doctor.
