Abstract
This paper presents a debate on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in healthcare, particularly concerning its impact on disabled individuals. Roy advocates for the potential benefits of automated clinical decision-making, while Peter raises concerns about its risks and limitations for the disabled community. Through their discussion, they examine the promise and perils of AI, drawing on scientific literature and firsthand experiences. The paper illuminates the ethical implications of using AI in the healthcare domain.
