Health Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve health care, but at the same time, raises many ethical challenges. Within the field of health AI ethics, the solutions to the questions posed by ethical issues such as informed consent, bias, safety, transparency, patient privacy, and allocation are complex and difficult to navigate. The increasing amount of data, market forces, and changing landscape of health care suggest that medical students may be faced with a workplace in which understanding how to safely and effectively interact with health AIs will be essential. Here we argue that there is a need to teach health AI ethics in medical schools. Real events in health AI already pose ethical challenges to the medical community. We discuss key ethical issues requiring medical school education and suggest that case studies based on recent real-life examples are useful tools to teach the ethical issues raised by health AIs.
健康人工智能（AI）有可能改善医疗保健，但同时也带来了许多伦理挑战。在健康 AI 伦理领域，解决知情同意、偏见、安全、透明度、患者隐私和分配等伦理问题所提出的问题的解决方案是复杂且难以驾驭的。越来越多的数据、市场力量以及医疗保健领域的不断变化，表明医学生可能会面临一个工作场所，在这个工作场所中，了解如何安全有效地与健康 AI 互动将是至关重要的。在这里，我们认为有必要在医学院教授健康 AI 伦理。健康 AI 的真实事件已经对医学界构成了伦理挑战。我们讨论了需要医学院教育的关键伦理问题，并建议基于最近真实案例的案例研究是教授健康 AI 引发的伦理问题的有用工具。
