Abstract

This research paper examines the ethical implications of AI in healthcare, covering the benefits and risks of using AI in healthcare services and provision. The paper highlights the applications of AI in healthcare, which can improve efficiency and accuracy of providing healthcare services by health professionals. The benefits of AI cover reducing the need for human intervention and increasing productivity through automation, delivering personalised experiences by recommendations, assisting with informed decision-making by providing real-time data analysis and insights, predicting outcomes or identifying potential threats, improving healthcare and overall customer satisfaction. The paper highlights the ethical implications of the use of AI in healthcare, including privacy and security, bias and discrimination, transparency and explainability, responsibility and accountability, informed consent and human interaction and empathy. The paper recommends that as AI becomes more prevalent in healthcare, establishing clear guidelines for responsible use, and maintaining the importance of human interaction and empathy in patient care, enhances healthcare outcomes while safeguarding patient rights and welfare. Continued research and development of the ethical implications of AI in healthcare for low-income countries as further work can promote the ethical use of AI in healthcare worldwide.
