Ethical Implications of Al in Patient Care Decisions: A Study on the Ethical Considerations of Using Artificial Intelligence to Make or Assist in Patient Care Decisions

Abstract

The current writing aims at bringing forward the ethical matters related to AI (artificial intelligence) integration in healthcare proceeding, particularly in therapy care decision-making process. A conceptual framework including the ethical problems related to AI-based diagnostic algorithms, predictive analytics, and treatment options recommendation systems is built through an organized evaluation of current literature. Some major ethical issues involve algorithm bias and equality, the right to self-determination and a grasp of the risks in question, and accountability and liability in case of deviation from medical standards. The paper focuses on the role of this ethical dilemma and how it is crucial for AI-driven healthcare practices that are ethically bound to respect the beneficent principles, justice, and patient autonomy. This study intends to make contributions for the discussion session regarding the ethical
and ethical deployment of AI in the medical decision-making of patients by disclosing complex ethical issues.
