Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great promise in becoming an integral part of healthcare, offering advancements in diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and personalised patient care in numerous medical specialties, including radiology and surgery. This paper explores the ethical implications of AI in medicine, with emphasis on the four key ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The ethical challenges include concerns about patient consent, data privacy, clinical transparency, and the potential for AI to exacerbate health disparities. This paper explores the need for clear ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks to ensure AI is used in a way that enhances healthcare without compromising ethical standards. As technology continues to advance, it is crucial to balance technological advancement with the fundamental principles of medical ethics to ensure that healthcare is delivered in a safe and compassionate manner.
人工智能（AI）在成为医疗保健不可或缺的一部分方面展现出了巨大潜力，在包括放射学和外科手术在内的众多医学专业中，它在诊断准确性、手术精准度以及个性化患者护理方面都取得了进展。本文探讨了人工智能在医学中的伦理意义，重点关注自主、行善、不伤害和公正这四项关键伦理原则。伦理挑战包括对患者同意、数据隐私、临床透明度以及人工智能加剧健康差距可能性的担忧。本文探讨了制定明确的伦理准则和监管框架的必要性，以确保人工智能的使用方式既能提升医疗保健水平，又不损害伦理标准。随着技术不断进步，平衡技术进步与医学伦理基本原则至关重要，以确保医疗保健以安全且富有同情心的方式提供。
