AI in de zorg en de wet: AIRecht adviseert het Rathenau Instituut

Kunstmatige intelligentie ontwikkelt zich niet in een juridisch vacuüm. Met die boodschap droeg AIRecht-oprichter Mauritz Kop bij aan het werk van het Rathenau Instituut over AI en recht, met in 2020 een inventarisatie van de Europese wetgeving rond AI in de zorg.

Een dicht web van bestaande regels

De inventarisatie laat zien hoeveel recht er al van toepassing is: productveiligheid en de Medical Devices Regulation, de AVG met haar Data Protection Impact Assessment, consumenten- en patiëntenrechten, en sectorspecifieke kwaliteitsnormen onder toezicht van EMA en Farmatec. Door alles heen loopt het Europese voorzorgsbeginsel.

Eigendom, grondrechten en nieuwe AI-regels

Kop bracht ook de lastige randen in kaart: wie is eigenaar van een AI-uitvinding zonder menselijke maker, hoe verhouden grondrechten als privacy en non-discriminatie zich tot zorg-AI, en hoe de toen nog komende AI-wetgeving (CAHAI, het Commissie-White-Paper, en uiteindelijk de EU AI Act) bovenop de bestaande sectorale regels zou komen te staan.

Waarom dit advies ertoe doet

De kern is een waarschuwing tegen een denkfout: het idee dat één AI-wet alles regelt. De werkelijkheid is multidisciplinair en cross-sectoraal. Wie het hele speelveld overziet, kan innovatie ruimte geven zonder de waarborgen los te laten. Verder lezen over de datadimensie kan in We hebben dringend een recht op dataprocessing nodig.

Legal Aspects of AI in Healthcare

On 16 August 2019, Suzan Slijpen LL.M. had the honour to speak about the legal aspects of the development and use of artificial intelligence (a disruptive technology) in healthcare, at the AI in Medicine Conference organized by the Irish Association of Physicists in Medicine (IAPM). The conference took place in Galway, at the National University of Ireland (School of Physics, NUI Galway/ OÉ Gaillimh). Suzan is a senior legal consultant at AIRecht.nl, and specializes in eHealth & medical devices, pharmaceutical law, European food law and contract law, from an AI helicopterview. She is also founder and lawyer at boutique law office Slijpen Legal.

Key topics of the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine lecture

Key legal topics that Suzan addressed in her Artificial Intelligence in Medicine lecture:

1. AI & Robotics: Disruptive Technologies: Synergetic effects of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies like robotics, big data, quantum computing, Blockchain, Virtual Reality (VR) and Internet of Things (IoT).

2. eHealth and medical devices: legal classification.

3. Fundamental Rights: Safeguarding of Fundamental Rights in AI applications, Rights of Patients.

4. Ethics and responsible AI: 1791 French Revolution Values, HLEG Concept of Trustworthy AI.

5. Intellectual Property on AI and Health Apps: Licensing your IP.

What are the main requirements for AI systems in Healthcare?

Main barriers to adoptation of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare.

Absence of a specific AI law, or clear legal framework from the perspective of both professional users (A) and patients (B).

When constructing such a framework, it is important to make a distinction between the various sub-areas of healthcare, such as research and development, professional care providers and recipients of care. Because each sub-area has different needs.

Barriers for professional users.

It is simply unclear for companies and private and academic research institutes in the medical sector what is and is not allowed in the field of AI, blockchain, computer & machine vision and robotics. Both at European level and at national level. This knowledge is important for the commodification of their inventions/creations. Two practical examples are permission from Farmatec and obtaining a CE-marking.

Requirements for sustained use of AI in healthcare.

Since traceability and transparency are key within any healthcare (and food-feed) system, blockchain could play an important role in sustained use of AI in healthcare.

A EU AI Directive or Regulation should be able to implement and/or adhere to principles of Eudralex (The body of European Union legislation in the pharmaceutical sector), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP) in particular.
