Ethical Foundations: Medical Ethics and Data Ethics

This chapter outlines basic concepts in medical ethics and data ethics. It aims to provide some kind of orientation regarding the complex issues, approaches, and concepts within these fields. I introduce the epistemic lenses of my conceptual approach to the ethics of MAI. This approach mainly rests on critical theory and critical data studies. I also introduce a framework for my further ethical analysis in Part II. This framework may also serve as a compass for the reader to navigate the following chapters.
