Overview

Healthcare application of artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how research and healthcare delivery are performed. Today, clinicians, researchers, and administrators lack adequate visibility and knowledge to the questions at hand that pose the most risk in terms of access, fairness, transparency, trustworthiness, and performance. Here, we plan to engage a broad community and ask the right ethical questions that lead to better, smarter, and more equitably applied healthcare AI in delivery and research.


Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

  1. Apply ethical frameworks to evaluate the development and deployment of AI technologies in healthcare, with attention to fairness, accountability, and patient autonomy.
  2. Assess sources of bias in healthcare AI systems, including data quality and algorithmic design, and propose strategies to mitigate their impact on clinical decision-making.
  3. Recognize privacy-preserving technologies and explain their role in protecting patient data while enabling responsible AI-driven innovation.
  4. Evaluate the impact of AI on the patient-clinician relationship, incorporating sociological and psychological perspectives to support compassionate, human-centered care.
  5. Integrate interdisciplinary insights from philosophy, engineering, clinical practice, and ethics to inform the safe, equitable, and effective implementation of AI tools in healthcare settings.
