Abstract	There are many benefits to the expanding application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, which includes everything from surgical robots to treatment recommendation systems, diagnostic tools, and platforms for workflow enhancement. At the same time, it brings up important legal and ethical concerns, especially when things don’t go as planned. A key issue is criminal liability: deciding who should be held responsible if an AI-related problem leads to patient harm, or if the use of AI in healthcare breaks the law or harms the public interest. This area is not well understood. This paper looks into how traditional criminal liability systems might have trouble dealing with AI in healthcare and highlights major issues and difficulties, such as the independence of AI, the lack of transparency in algorithms, and how responsibility is shared among developers, healthcare professionals, organizations, and AI systems themselves. It also suggests ways to improve this, like new governance structures, stronger regulations, and mixed liability systems. The aim is to create a healthcare environment with AI that is accountable, safe, and ethically sound.
