Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Dermatology: Ethical Considerations

The rapid use of artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology raises important concerns around bias, privacy, and the need for strong regulation to ensure ethical implementation. Trust in AI depends on its accuracy, transparency, and proper use, while physicians must continue to apply their clinical judgment. AI systems should aim to minimize bias and increase transparency, recognizing that perfection in these areas is unlikely but should be pursued as much as possible. Access to AI tools must be equitable, with special attention to underserved and rural populations to prevent widening health care disparities.
