A Review of the Ethical and Legal Challenges of Using Artificial Intelligence in the Health System

Öz

Today, artificial intelligence technologies can provide unimaginable benefits to the health system. While artificial intelligence has significant potential to improve the performance of the health system, on the other hand, it also comes with challenges that sometimes lead to harm in the health system. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to review the ethical and legal challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the health system. This is a review study. To collect information, an evidence search was used in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases using the keywords artificial intelligence, medical ethics, health rights, health care, and human dignity. In all stages of the present research design, honesty and trustworthiness were observed, while respecting the originality of the text. The research findings regarding ethical challenges can be attributed to trust in artificial intelligence, violation of human dignity in artificial intelligence, respect for the principle of individual autonomy and its rules, artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of complete treatment, and artificial intelligence and emotional function. Legal challenges include standardization of artificial intelligence in medicine, artificial intelligence and civil liability, artificial intelligence and medical guarantees, artificial intelligence and violation of data privacy, and Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity are.
