That “black box” AI algorithm your practice just bought might look sleek on a demo screen—but when something goes wrong, it won’t be the software company signing the report. It’ll be you.

In this episode of Contrast & Clarity, Maddi and Jeff interview Ken Davis, Senior Counsel in Healthcare at Katten Law Firm, for a no-fluff conversation about the intersection of radiology, contract law, and the use of artificial intelligence. Together, we dive into the legal realities of AI implementation – and the due diligence that radiologists can’t afford to ignore.

We explore questions like:

· What kind of due diligence should practices perform before deploying AI?

· How do clinical vs. nonclinical AI tools differ from a liability standpoint?

· Why is it important to try to see beyond the black box nature of an algorithm?

· What should new radiologists know about the AI their group uses?

If your practice is using AI – or considering it – this episode is your legal reality check.
