Ethics and Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly growing in healthcare, with the goal of making healthcare safer and more efficient. AI will affect almost every area of healthcare in which machines can automate larger volumes of data than are practical for people. In a survey of physicians, 66% believed that AI would lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses (Anderson, 2019). There are, however, unforeseeable risks, such as false positives or negatives, systems errors, unexplainable results and amplifying biases or unethical behavior. Please join in this very informative ethics series.

Target Audience

Physicians, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists, Clinical Chaplains, Medical Students and other interested healthcare professionals.

Learning Objectives

  • Define artificial intelligence and identify useful applications in clinical practice.
