<h1>Medical College Launches AI in Healthcare Department: Programs, Industry Partnerships, and Legal Risks Around Data, Safety, Consent</h1> A medical college and its parent university have established a Department of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare to integrate medicine, engineering and data science, offering MSc and integrated MSc-PhD programs, faculty upskilling, and industry collaborations to translate AI research into clinical applications. Legal considerations include regulatory compliance for medical education and clinical deployments, patient data protection and consent, algorithmic accountability and human oversight, intellectual property and licensing arrangements with partners, research ethics and accreditation standards, and potential liability arising from AI-informed clinical decisions. Contracts, governance policies and risk-management frameworks will be needed to mitigate these issues.
