Summary:This study examines the necessary changes in Ghana’s medical negligence law which governs artificial intelligence (AI) pilots in hospitals to preserve the doctor-patient relationship and address the liability gap by reviewing Law 575, examination of case law. Combined with lessons from Nigerian hospitals and the global literature, practical recommendations result in acceptable changes, provider responsibilities are renewed, patient advocacy in automation Contributions include modeling legal language for maintaining standards of care, limiting algorithmic harm, and advising emerging AIs on diagnosis or treatment.  The need for transparency of equipment and current pilots calls for an update to Rule 575 sooner rather than waiting for crimes to occur. Emphasis is placed on the potential of clinical leaders and policymakers.
