Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the capacity to improve patient care through increasing clinical decision-making accuracy and reducing administrative burdens for clinicians. However, AI poses challenges in medical ethics due to its opaque nature, potential for bias, and ties to large amounts of patient data. This article provides a general overview of medical AI ethics and legal regulations at the time of writing. It includes a description of prominent bioethics principles applied to AI, examines ethical challenges present in medical AI, reviews the current state of regulations regarding AI, and provides a list of recommendations for clinicians working with AI tools.
