The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Abstract
This paper examines the ethical considerations surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in
healthcare, focusing on issues such as bias, accountability, and patient privacy.
Introduction
AI is increasingly being used in healthcare, offering the potential to improve diagnosis, treatment,
and patient outcomes. However, it also raises important ethical questions. This paper investigates
the ethical implications of AI in healthcare.
Methodology
Analysis of ethical frameworks, case studies of AI-related ethical dilemmas, and expert opinions.
Results
AI systems can be biased, leading to discrimination and unfair outcomes. They can also be difficult
to hold accountable, raising questions about responsibility and transparency. Additionally, the
development of autonomous AI systems raises concerns about human control and the potential loss
of jobs.
Conclusion
Ethical considerations must be integrated into the development and use of AI. This requires
collaboration between technologists, policymakers, and ethicists to establish guidelines and ensure
that AI is used for the benefit of society.
