Waleed Mohsen joined Christian Milaster and Joe McMenamin, MD/JD, for a thought-provoking conversation on Telehealth T-Time that dives headfirst into a provocative question: how far off are we from people suing an AI?


As artificial intelligence plays a growing role in healthcare decisions, the boundaries of liability are being pushed into strange and uncharted legal territory. In this clip, Mohsen and McMenamin walk through a hypothetical courtroom case where an AI is at the center of a malpractice claim. The twist? It’s not just about the doctors or institutions—it’s about whether the AI itself could be held accountable.


The discussion unpacks:


  • What it would take for a patient to sue an AI agent

  • How plaintiffs’ attorneys might structure their case

  • What kind of defenses could emerge on behalf of the AI

  • The growing need for clear frameworks around AI-driven care decisions




As Mohsen notes, “It seems not so fanciful a scenario with each new day.” With the rise of autonomous AI agents in diagnostics, patient support, and clinical decision-making, these legal questions are no longer science fiction—they’re strategic imperatives for healthcare organizations, regulators, and technologists alike.
