Abstract

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is underway. AI has become omnipresent in medicine, and its broad capabilities have permitted significant developments in many subspecialties including spine surgery. With AI, spine surgeons have been able to perform advanced computational analytics on vast amounts of data, allowing for solutions in each step of patient care from preoperative evaluation and planning, intraoperative execution, and postoperative evaluation. The tremendous potential of AI in medicine is clear and exciting. However, as the utility of AI in clinical practice expands, the medicolegal implications of this technology are poorly understood. In this chapter, we explore the existing technology, ethical considerations, legal challenges, and risk management strategies as it relates to AI in the field of spine surgery.
