arXiv:2608.13618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A single clinical algorithm can deliver unequal accuracy across patient groups, and concern about such disparity has grown as artificial intelligence (AI) spreads through clinical decision-making. In response, a liability rule introduced in the United States holds healthcare providers responsible when their reliance on disparate algorithms contributes to erroneous clinical decisions. We examine how such liability considerations reshape (i) an AI firm's algorithm design decisions that drive group-specific accuracy and (ii) a physician's decisions to use AI in healthcare delivery. The AI firm designs an algorithm for two patient groups, and impro
