Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great promise in becoming an integral part of healthcare, offering advancements in diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and personalised patient care in numerous medical specialties, including radiology and surgery. This paper explores the ethical implications of AI in medicine, with emphasis on the four key ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The ethical challenges include concerns about patient consent, data privacy, clinical transparency, and the potential for AI to exacerbate health disparities. This paper explores the need for clear ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks to ensure AI is used in a way that enhances healthcare without compromising ethical standards. As technology continues to advance, it is crucial to balance technological advancement with the fundamental principles of medical ethics to ensure that healthcare is delivered in a safe and compassionate manner.
