Abstract
Healthcare Ethics Consultants (HECs) can serve as a resource for facilitating values-based conversations for responsible integration of AI technologies that benefit patients, providers, and healthcare organizations. First, the paper describes the different types of AI and its uses in healthcare. Second, it considers the role of HECs and why facilitating conversations around the responsible use and implementation of AI better frames the ethical content for AI healthcare. Third, the paper explores the ethical knowledge necessary to think through responsible use of AI. Finally, it identifies how ethics can be embedded into the process of adopting AI in healthcare from its development to its implementation in the organization and in the need for continual research on its use. The skills necessary for HECs can be utilized in a way to better improve values-based decision-making and evaluation for AI in healthcare.
