About

Emad Abdel Rahim Dahiyat is a leading legal scholar whose work sits at the critical intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and civil liability. His research primarily explores the profound legal and ethical challenges posed by autonomous systems, with a particular focus on how existing frameworks of tort law can—or cannot—accommodate AI-driven decision-making in medicine. Dahiyat’s most-cited paper, “Civil liability for the actions of autonomous AI in healthcare: an invitation to further contemplation” (2024, 28 citations), serves as a foundational call to reimagine accountability when robotic systems perform tasks from diagnosis to surgery. In this work, he meticulously dissects the gaps in current liability regimes, arguing that the unique opacity and autonomy of AI demand new legal constructs rather than mere extensions of traditional doctrines. His contributions have sparked essential dialogue among jurists, technologists, and healthcare providers, positioning him as a pivotal voice in shaping the regulatory landscape for emerging technologies. Through rigorous analysis and forward-thinking proposals, Dahiyat continues to influence how we balance innovation with responsibility, making his scholarship indispensable for anyone navigating the future of law and artificial intelligence.
