Like any other industry, the healthcare industry is also being revolutionized by AI. From early disease detection to personalized treatment plans, Artificial Intelligence is transforming all kinds of patient care.
However, this transformation raises a significant ethical concern, particularly concerning patient privacy. Every healthcare facility must be informed about the ethical considerations which may include the handling of sensitive patient data, biases present in diagnostic algorithms, and a guideline for decision-making processes in AI-assisted medical procedures.
It is important to find a balance between the benefits of AI-driven healthcare and safeguarding the privacy and recovery of patients. If AI can in any way interfere with the recovery of the patients, it is the healthcare facility’s responsibility to intervene and find the right solutions. Just automating tasks, without following the right ethical guidelines may result in more loss than gain.
In the long term, people prefer facilities that care for them. That can happen only when AI is used with its ethical considerations.
