Abstract

In response to recent proposals to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to automate ethics consultations in healthcare, we raise two main problems for the prospect of having healthcare professionals rely on AI-driven programs to provide ethical guidance in clinical matters. The first cause for concern is that, because these programs would effectively function like black boxes, this approach seems to preclude the kind of transparency that would allow clinical staff to explain and justify treatment decisions to patients, fellow caregivers, and those tasked with providing oversight. The other main problem is that the kind of authority that would need to be given to the guidance issuing from these programs in order to do the work set out for them would mean that clinical staff would not be empowered to provide meaningful safeguards against it in those cases when its recommendations are morally problematic.

在临床环境中使用人工智能的伦理问题。
针对最近利用人工智能(AI)自动化医疗保健伦理咨询的建议,我们提出了两个主要问题,即医疗保健专业人员依赖人工智能驱动的程序在临床事务中提供伦理指导。第一个值得关注的原因是,由于这些项目将有效地像黑箱一样运作,这种方法似乎排除了一种透明度,这种透明度将允许临床工作人员向患者、其他护理人员和负责提供监督的人解释和证明治疗决定的合理性。另一个主要问题是,为了完成这些项目的工作,需要给予指导的权威意味着临床工作人员没有权力在这些建议存在道德问题的情况下提供有意义的保护措施。
