Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare can potentially improve patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and diagnostic accuracy. However, it also raises serious ethical issues, especially in light of possible disparities in the distribution and accessibility of AI-powered healthcare resources. This study investigates how AI might affect health disparities. It bases its proposal for an equitable AI implementation framework on the justice teachings of the Catholic Church. In line with the Church's ethical commitment to social justice, the paper makes an ethical case for a responsible approach to AI in healthcare by examining the concepts of human dignity, the common good, and preferential option for the poor.
