        abstract = {Digital technology has made rapid advances in the fields of education, business and healthcare, in particular during the Covid-19 pandemic. As an emerging arena in India, Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) can add machine intelligence to software applications. It also has the ability to contribute to the healthcare system in India. AI can benefit the healthcare field by mining medical records, designing treatment plans, managing medication, predicting health events, assisting in clinical decision making, and drug creation. As is the case with all forms of technologies, it also raises certain ethical and social concerns with regard to clinical safety, privacy, liability and equitable access. If these concerns are addressed, then the benefits of AI can be harnessed by reducing its risks.
Considering the socio-ethical implications which AI raises for the healthcare system and its stakeholders, the authors felt it necessary to analyse the potential legal risks of the AI technologies being utilized in healthcare. The paper attempts to provide an overview of the emerging ethico-legal issues in implementation of AI in healthcare, which will be useful to strengthen its responsible deployment in the healthcare system in India.},
