Where can Medical Ethics be Applied in Artificial Intelligence (AI) ?

• This process is not going to be without challenges from an ethical standpoint. And in fact, issues already arise and will likely continue to do so and evolve as the technology does.
• Let’s think about AI in the three main components:
  • the data
  • the process of development
  • the deployment of models and systems in clinical practice.

• Let’s apply the lens of the pillars and fundamental concepts of medical ethics to each these components.
  • And the result of this matrix then, is then to raise ethical considerations and questions and issues relevant to these areas.
• See specific articles on ethical considerations around data, the other major issues pertaining to developing and in deploying of AI-based solutions in health.
