Summary

Artificial intelligence and automation are finding their way into the healthcare sector – some systems even claim to deliver better results than human physicians. However, the increasing automation of medical decision-making is also accompanied by problems such as the maintenance of the relationship of trust between physicians and patients or the verification of decisions. This is where the patient’s right to explanation, which is enshrined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), comes into play. This chapter explains how the right is derived from the GDPR and how it should be established.
