Artificial intelligence surveillance can be used to diagnose individual cases, track the spread of Covid-19, and help provide care. The use of AI for surveillance purposes (such as detecting new Covid-19 cases and gathering data from healthy and ill individuals) in a pandemic raises multiple concerns ranging from privacy to discrimination to access to care. Luckily, there exist several frameworks that can help guide stakeholders, especially physicians but also AI developers and public health officials, as they navigate these treacherous shoals. While these frameworks were not explicitly designed for AI surveillance during a pandemic, they can be adapted to help address concerns regarding privacy, human rights, and due process and equality. In a time where the rapid implementation of all tools available is critical to ending a pandemic, physicians, public health officials, and technology companies should understand the criteria for the ethical implementation of AI surveillance.
人工智能监控可用于诊断个别病例、追踪新冠疫情的传播并提供帮助。在大流行期间，出于监控目的（如检测新的新冠病例和从健康与患病个体收集数据）使用人工智能引发了多个问题，包括隐私、歧视和医疗保健的可及性。幸运的是，存在一些框架可以帮助指导利益相关者，特别是医生，但也包括人工智能开发者和公共卫生官员，让他们在这些危险的浅滩中航行。虽然这些框架并非专门为大流行期间的人工智能监控而设计，但可以进行调整，以帮助解决隐私、人权、正当程序和平等方面的问题。在这个需要快速利用所有可用工具来结束疫情的时代，医生、公共卫生官员和科技公司应该了解人工智能监控的伦理实施标准。
