, The Conversation; Artificial intelligence in medicine raises legal and ethical concerns
"The use of artificial intelligence in medicine is generating great excitement and hope for treatment advances.
AI generally refers to computers’ ability to mimic human intelligence and to learn. For example, by using machine learning, scientists are working to develop algorithms
that will help them make decisions about cancer treatment. They hope
that computers will be able to analyze radiological images and discern
which cancerous tumors will respond well to chemotherapy and which will not.
But AI in medicine also raises significant legal and ethical
challenges. Several of these are concerns about privacy, discrimination,
psychological harm and the physician-patient relationship. In a forthcoming
article, I argue that policymakers should establish a number of
safeguards around AI, much as they did when genetic testing became
commonplace."
