AI Liability in Senior Living: Executive Risk, Accountability, and Governance When Technology Fails

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is actively shaping operations, care delivery, and risk exposure in senior living. From fall detection systems to predictive health analytics, AI offers significant promise. But when technology fails—when a fall goes undetected, a medication alert is missed, or predictive analytics influence care decisions incorrectly—organizational accountability and liability quickly rise to the executive level.

This session examines the evolving legal and operational gray areas of AI adoption through real-world case scenarios. Attendees will explore key risk considerations, including data privacy, HIPAA compliance, vendor accountability, and litigation exposure tied to AI-driven decisions. The discussion focuses on executive-level risk management strategies—from contract structure and governance models to staff training and policy development—that allow organizations to leverage innovation while protecting residents, reputation, and enterprise value. For senior living leaders, understanding where liability begins and ends is now a core leadership responsibility in an AI-driven environment.
