AI penalty
The finding that disagreeing with an AI recommendation, even when you are clinically right, raises your liability in the eyes of a lay jury, while agreeing with it gives you no protection. A one-way ratchet.
A sepsis alert fires for a patient with a raised heart rate and lactate an hour after a witnessed tonic-clonic seizure. The admitting physician finds a clear chest, judges both post-ictal, documents why and holds antibiotics while she repeats the lactate. If the patient later proves to have aspirated, the record shows an AI warning she overrode, which a lay jury is likely to weigh more heavily than the same outcome with the alert followed. Ask for an override that takes one step with a reason field, and a written policy that bedside assessment governs the alert.
