 The Ethical Implications of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction

Ethical implication means the potential moral consequences and consideration is an increase in
starting professional or research activities. For example, bias, related to objectivity, copyright,
and plagiarism by ethical practices. Meanwhile, the legal professions and judiciary supporting
the decision-making of administrative and judicial public bodies through artificial intelligence
methods have a huge impact globally. In support, of the statement claimed by (Khayru, 2022),
the powers of AI are transforming the healthcare industry in a manner to increase patient health
and advances medical research. The aim of this essay is to that AI is transforming the world and
also its development and uses increasing the ethical concern. Presently AI has been used in most
of the sectors such as business management, Engineering, education, transportation, and
technology as well as in healthcare sectors. Artificial Intelligence has been increasing in
healthcare sectors which has led to an innovative change in the way that diseases are diagnosed
managed and treated (Amjad et al., 2023). Hence, the applications of Artificial Intelligence are at
risk and posing challenges in the health sectors. These challenges have been discussed in the
section below.The structure of this essay will discuss the ethical implications of AI in health
sectors, the challenges of using AI in healthcare, and the role of third-party vendors in AI-based
healthcare solutions.
1. Ethical implication of AI in health sectors
AI has survival ethical implications in health sectors, such as Patient Data privacy, Bias and
fairness, accountability, quality of care, and research and development ethics.
Patient data privacy in the healthcare sector involves the protection of sensitive information of
patients such as personal details, medical history, treatment plans, test results, and billings(Bani
Issa et al., 2020). Ethical implications of AI patient data privacy in the healthcare sector are
important when healthcare sectors use AI to establish patient data so the healthcare provider
should keep patient information secure and not use the patient data without patient information.
Bias and fairness are also one of the main principles of AI. Here Bias is known as the AI system
improperly justifies and is subjective to unfair outcomes (Varona et al., 2022). However,
Fairness is considered to be sure that AI treats all groups in an equally and right manner.
Moreover, bias and fairness is an unintentional error that occurs in the system.AI implication
within health sectors therefore it is essential to secure patient safety, maintain trust, and promote
health equality by addressing bias and fairness and ensuring justice. Accountability in
healthcare sectors and how AI systems are decided by healthcare professionals and patients need
to be believed (Habli et al., 2020). Accountability and transparency for their decisions are
important to building trust in AI systems in healthcare sectors.
2. Ethical challenges and risks of using AI
There are many ethical challenges and risks of using AI in healthcare sectors include. The risk of
data breaches also rises with the increasing use of AI. The protection of sensitive information of
patients from cyberattacks. Data quality issues related to test results inaccurate or incomplete
data (Lopatina et al., 2021). AI adoption in all industries, including the healthcare sector by
continuous betterment and innovation are important for success in any industry. There, the
healthcare sector should train and educate professionals at all levels. Build dedicated teams
around innovation leaders by encouraging AI adoption in all possible ways. AI introduction to
the healthcare sector bring new challenges to doctors. Doctors face so many challenges because
of the difficult and explain of AI-generated models and Lack of understanding of the internal
working principles of algorithms by many doctors (Daneshvar et al., 2024). AI is completed by
software codes. AI deals with thousands of codes, so technologists necessarily make mistakes.
Therefore AI used in healthcare sectors such errors may have harmful effects on patients.
Without challenges the journey toward seamless AI adoption in healthcare sectors. Healthcare is
proactively addressing them and finding innovative solutions to overcome the challenges.
3. The role of Third-Party vendors in AI-based healthcare solutions
Third-party help to keep these AI issues and challenges. Who can lead healthcare through the
process of updating the third-party risk management framework by the healthcare sector should
find and work with qualified AI subject matter experts. Identify the proper due application
documents, and provide current support for vendor risk review by the expert. The role of third-
party vendors is important in the healthcare sector (Sittig et al., 2020). The vendors offer
necessary services such as data management, supply chain, and clinical support. Operational,
financial, and representational risks by every third-party agreement add to healthcare
providers.For example, Due to the sensitive nature of patient information, a third party manages
the electronic health records (EHR) essential range data security. The interrelated system of these
relationships means that a failure or breach in one area can have far-reaching consequences,
evaluating the importance of effective risk management strategies in the healthcare sector.

Conclusion

This essay concludes with the ethical implications of AI in health sectors, the challenges that
arise from using AI in healthcare, and also the role of third-party vendors in AI-based healthcare
solutions. AI has survival ethical implications in health sectors such as patient data privacy, bias,
fairness, accountability, quality of care, and research and development ethics. The health sector
protection of patient data privacy is related to the sensitive information a patient may hold, which
can include the patient's details, history of past treatments conducted, planned treatment, test
results, and billings. Further, bias and fairness are errors that unintentionally affect the system.
Thus, safety of patients, the establishment of trust, and promotion of health equality, which bias
and fairness, together with fair treatment, ensure justice. Reliability in accountability of
healthcare sectors along with how AI systems are determined by healthcare professionals and
patients. Furthermore, this essay concludes the ethical challenges and risks while using AI in
healthcare sectors include. The risk of data breaches also raises high along with the increasing
use of AI. Cyberattacks on the protection of sensitive information of patients. Third-party help in
order to sustain these AI issues and challenges who are capable of leading healthcare through
this process of updated third-party risk management framework should identify and collaborate
with suitable AI subject matter experts.
