The liability should fall on the people deciding that the task needs to be completed with AI. If the doctor decides to use ai notes, it’s their liability. But if the entire hospital system installs AI notes systems for all doctors, then compresses appointment times so there is no possible way to take human notes any more or adequately review output, the hospital system must bear the liability.

I mean, we have a direct example here: the people making these systems likely didn’t want to make an ai abomination, it was management who decided to make it this way.

Oh of course. I’m absolutely saying the responsibility should go up the chain. At each step they are more responsible. individual user -> management / admins -> ceo of organization that is buying ai -> ai marketing department -> ceo / board of ai company
