Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field of medicine, offering unprecedented opportunities to improve patient care, diagnosis, and treatment. AI presents a myriad of ethical issues, especially when it comes to making medical decisions, as technology is incorporated into healthcare more and more.  This article examines the various ethical issues surrounding AI in medicine and clarifies how these technologies and medical ethics interact.

Patient confidentiality and data security are major concerns because artificial intelligence (AI) mainly depends on huge databases for training and analysis. Maintaining the confidence among individuals and their healthcare providers requires ensuring that private medical information is secure and not easily compromised. (1)
