The Artificial Intelligence Doctor: Considerations for the Clinical Implementation of Ethical AI

The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in modern medicine are growing exponentially, and new developments are fast-paced. However, the lack of trust and appropriate legislation hinder its clinical implementation. Recently, there is a clear increase of directives and considerations on Ethical AI.
