About

Ahmed Eldakak is a rising thought leader at the intersection of law, technology, and medicine, whose work probes the profound legal and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence in healthcare. His most-cited paper, “Civil liability for the actions of autonomous AI in healthcare: an invitation to further contemplation” (2024, 28 citations), has quickly become a cornerstone reference for scholars grappling with accountability in an era of robotic surgery and machine-learning diagnostics. In this seminal work, Eldakak does not merely raise alarms; he constructs a rigorous framework for understanding how existing civil liability doctrines must evolve when autonomous systems—from diagnostic algorithms to surgical robots—cause harm. By dissecting scenarios where no human operator is directly at fault, he invites the legal community to rethink foundational concepts of duty, causation, and fault. His contribution is especially timely as healthcare increasingly deploys AI in high-stakes settings, from radiology to intensive care. Eldakak’s scholarship stands out for its clarity, foresight, and willingness to tackle uncomfortable questions, making him an essential voice for students and researchers navigating the uncharted legal terrain of autonomous medical technologies.
