1 Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare in the Context of Patient Rights Abstract This thesis deals with the issue of the legal status of patients in connection with the gradual introduction of artificial intelligence into medical practice. Artificial intelligence is gaining ground in today's healthcare system as a tool capable of increasing the efficiency of diagnostic, predictive medicine and administrative processes. However, its use also raises fundamental questions regarding the protection of patient privacy, the preservation of autonomy of will, and the assurance of legal certainty in an environment where the traditional model of the doctor-patient relationship is being disrupted. The thesis is based on the premise that healthcare, as an extremely sensitive area, requires specific and precise legal regulation of technological innovations, especially those capable of autonomous thinking without human intervention. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the current legal framework governing both artificial intelligence and patient rights, and to assess whether this regulation adequately reflects the concerns and risks associated with the implementation of intelligent machines in medical practice. The focus is primarily on rights based on the principle of patient autonomy and the protection of personality...
