The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) also applies to medical practices. According to an interview by Ärzte Zeitung with medical law attorney Julia Gokel, it specifically affects websites, chatbots, social media presences and the use of AI in patient care.
What the source confirms
Ärzte Zeitung names these four areas as fields of application for the new transparency duties. The source describes what practices must observe there, but the passage analysed contains no concrete catalogue of obligations, deadlines or fine amounts.
Context
For practice owners this mainly means: if you use chatbots on your website or AI in patient care, you should check whether and which labelling or information duties apply. Which exact requirements apply in individual cases is not stated in the source and should be clarified with the relevant legal advice.
