Thoughts on the News About Easing Medical AI Regulations
I saw an article saying the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is expanding the scope of clinical trial exemptions for medical AI.
But honestly... if AI makes a wrong diagnosis, who takes responsibility? The doctor? The hospital? The software company?
Overseas, there are already many cases of 'AI-assisted diagnosis,' and it's true that Korea's strict regulations are slowing progress, but safety issues can't be ignored either.

Agreed, accountability is the most important thing.
That's right lol. If the AI misdiagnoses, the doctor ends up taking the fall anyway.
Looking at overseas cases, AI-assisted diagnosis seems more stable than expected. Isn't the regulation just too strict?
Well, I'm a bit skeptical. If AI has data bias, it could be really dangerous.
I feel the same way. I work in the medical field, and the shortage of doctors is more urgent than introducing AI.
Do you have a source? I'm curious which country lifted the regulations.
Isn't that old news? I thought the MFDS guidelines changed last year.
Disagree. If AI diagnosis is wrong, the software company should also be held responsible. Why should only hospitals be the scapegoat?
Oh, I didn't know that. But it'll probably take at least 5 more years for AI to actually be used in hospitals.
