AI Can Answer Medical Questions—But Only Ethics Can Make It Profitable
We know that ethics is not just a moral imperative. It is a business strategy. Healthcare is one of the most trust-sensitive industries in the world. A company that launches a careless AI tool risks regulatory penalties, lawsuits and reputational damage that can take years to undo.
Conversely, companies that embed ethics into their products from day one build trust with patients, credibility with providers and goodwill with regulators. They can also expand their market reach, reduce liability and future-proof their innovations in an evolving regulatory landscape.
Simply put, ethical AI is not only the right thing to do. It is the smart thing to do.
