The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has caught the attention of the world as it challenges the status quo on human operations. As AI has dramatically impacted education, healthcare, industry, and economics, a Catholic ethical study of human dignity in the context of AI in healthcare is presented in this article. The debates regarding whether AI will usher well or doom the dignity of humankind are occasioned by increasing developments of technology in patient care and medical decision-making. This paper draws from Catholic ethics, especially the concepts of inherent human dignity, the sanctity of human life, and morality in the medical field. It talks about using AI to upgrade healthcare outcomes without losing the essential humanity of human dignity in medical practice. It also touches on the most likely ethical issues: the morality of AI-related decisions and the depersonalization of health care. Finally, it provides a framework that brings AI development in tandem with a Catholic vision of human dignity and supports a healthcare system that caters to the common good but correctly respects the irreplaceable value of the human person and highlights moral responsibility.
人工智能（AI）的崛起引起了全世界的关注，因为它挑战了人类运作的现状。随着人工智能对教育、医疗、工业和经济产生了巨大影响，本文呈现了一项关于医疗保健领域人工智能背景下人类尊严的天主教伦理研究。关于人工智能究竟会提升还是损害人类尊严的争论，是由患者护理和医疗决策中技术的不断发展引发的。本文借鉴了天主教伦理，特别是人类固有尊严、人类生命神圣性以及医学领域道德等概念。它探讨了如何利用人工智能提升医疗保健成果，同时在医疗实践中不丧失人类尊严的本质人性。它还涉及最可能出现的伦理问题：与人工智能相关决策的道德性以及医疗保健的非人性化。最后，它提供了一个框架，使人工智能的发展与天主教对人类尊严的愿景保持一致，并支持一个服务于共同利益、正确尊重人类不可替代价值并突出道德责任的医疗保健系统。
