In this article, we describe and analyse when and what patients need to be told about the use of artificial intelligence in clinical care. In many circumstances, patients do not need to be told about the use of AI, but in cases in which AI is making decisions rather than supporting them or patient data are being transferred to a third party, specific consent must be sought from patients. Ultimately, AI will become a routine part of clinical care, but until then, clinicians must take great care to seek consent where necessary.
在本文中,我们描述并分析了何时以及需要告知患者关于人工智能在临床护理中的使用情况。在许多情况下,无需告知患者人工智能的使用,但在人工智能进行决策而非提供支持或患者数据被转移给第三方的情况下,必须寻求患者的明确同意。最终,人工智能将成为临床护理的常规组成部分,但在此之前,临床医生在必要时必须谨慎地寻求同意。
