Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential to accelerate scientific discovery in medicine and to transform healthcare. In radiology, AI is about to enter into clinical practice and has a wide range of applications covering the whole diagnostic workflow. However, AI applications are not smooth sailing. It is crucial to understand the potential risks and hazards that come with this new technology. We have to implement AI in the best possible way to reflect the time-honored ethical and legal standards while ensuring the adequate protection of patient interests. These issues are discussed under the light of core biomedical ethics principles and principles for AI-specific ethical challenges while giving an overview of the statements that were proposed for the ethics of AI applications in radiology.
人工智能(AI)在加速医学科学发现和改变医疗保健方面具有巨大潜力。在放射学中,人工智能即将进入临床实践,并具有广泛的应用,涵盖整个诊断工作流程。然而,人工智能应用并非一帆风顺。了解这项新技术带来的潜在风险和危害至关重要。我们必须以最佳方式实施人工智能,既要体现久经考验的伦理和法律标准,又要确保充分保护患者利益。本文从核心生物医学伦理原则和人工智能特定伦理挑战的原则出发,讨论了这些问题,并概述了为放射学中人工智能应用的伦理提出的建议。
