Medical Ethics in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: A New Landscape in Medical Practice?

Le résumé fourni par la source

Purpose of this study is to examine how AI interferes with medical practice by enhancing medical ethics rules and standards. Also, this research examines how AI contributes to medical confidentiality which stands as a key role of medical ethics to its mandate for beneficence. Another matter is a complete medical diagnosis that demands accurate family history and psychological information about the patients. Qualitative research has been conducted from August 2020 through December 2021 with the use of a closed type of questionnaire including both questions and case studies. The type and form of the questionnaire have been determined by the nature of the medical profession and the very limited free time of physicians. The questionnaire was distributed only to medical doctors and physicians in Greece who were registered as active members of medical associations. Within the context of Medical Ethics, AI can be used to minimize the human error and help the doctor decide according to the best interest of the patient. In the future AI will be even more capable so further research must be under way to recreate boundaries and keep AI accountable for actions or mistakes that have been made under its control.
