Does Intraoperative Artificial Intelligence Decision Support Pose Ethical Issues?
AI clinical decision support systems (AI CDSSs) may reduce errors and increase clinical accuracy but little consideration has been given to ethical issues that arise from the use of an intraoperative AI CDSS, aside from those of bias and privacy. Recognizing and addressing these and other ethical issues risks long-term effects such as loss of public trust, overly restrictive regulation of AI systems, and rejection of the technology by patients and surgeons.
