# Hiteks MD: AI in CDI Creates New Regulatory Risks Beyond Current Guidance

*In a June 20, 2026, article published by [Hiteks](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/company/100923745), [Gerasimos Petratos](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/103232641), MD, addressed the regulatory implications of integrating artificial intelligence into Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) workflows. Petratos asserted that AI technology operates fully within the existing regulatory framework.*

He warned that AI in this context can create new risk categories that current regulatory guidance has not yet caught up to, creating a potential liability gap.

Petratos urged the industry to proactively address this gap, noting that organizations that develop solutions for these new risks could gain a market advantage.
