About This Resource

Defining and defending the duty of care in AI-assisted medicine, law, finance, and professional services.

Our Mission
#

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in professional practice—from diagnosing disease to drafting legal documents to approving loans—a critical question emerges: What duty is owed when AI influences decisions affecting human lives?

AI Standard of Care exists to answer that question.

We provide comprehensive, authoritative analysis of how traditional negligence frameworks apply when algorithms make consequential decisions. Our coverage spans:

  • 30+ medical specialties where AI is transforming diagnosis and treatment
  • 50+ industries facing AI liability questions
  • All 50 states + D.C. for attorney ethics guidance
  • Dozens of legal frameworks from product liability to professional malpractice

Why This Matters
#

The standard of care in professional services has always evolved with technology. The stethoscope, X-ray, and MRI each raised liability questions in their time.

AI is different only in scale and speed.

Right now, courts across America are deciding:

  • When failure to use AI becomes malpractice
  • Who bears liability when AI recommendations cause harm
  • What disclosure patients and clients deserve about AI’s role
  • How traditional negligence principles apply to algorithmic decisions

These decisions will shape professional practice for decades. Understanding them is essential for practitioners, patients, and policymakers alike.
