Current Research

Supervised by Professor Shaun Pattinson and Professor William Lucy, her PhD research title is “Legal liability in relation to health-related artificial intelligence”. The work examines the legal liability concerns arising from the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare within the context of Great Britain. The research aims to provide an in-depth analysis of how the current legal frameworks in Great Britain address these issues and explores potential legal reforms that could improve the regulation of AI in healthcare. Although primarily focused on Great Britain, the research may also draw on relevant case law, legal literature, and insights from other jurisdictions, such as the European Union and the United States, to offer a broader perspective on the topic.
