Ethics and Bioethics

Ethics and Bioethics

Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Area of Science:

Digital pathology
Medical ethics
Artificial intelligence in medicine

Background:

Whole slide imaging (WSI) has advanced computational pathology.
Ethical considerations are crucial for AI integration in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore ethical issues in WSI-based computational pathology.
To address tensions between AI data needs and data protection.
To examine data fusion, AI explainability, and industry influence.

Main Methods:

Literature review of WSI advances.
Analysis of ethical challenges in data collection, fusion, and AI.
Discussion of potential resolutions for identified ethical problems.

Main Results:

Ethical issues arise from data minimization conflicts, data fusion norms, AI 'black box' problems, and manufacturer interests.
The study identifies specific ethical tensions in computational pathology.

Conclusions:

Most ethical issues identified in whole slide image-based computational pathology are resolvable.
Proactive ethical frameworks can guide responsible AI implementation in pathology.
