AIs and Hands-on Healthcare Professionals

The present chapter considers the ethical implications of the design and use of AIs by hands-on healthcare professionals. Since AIs are informatic tools whose processes rely on data, it begins by outlining the notion of data-needs as this applies to hands-on healthcare professionals and the implications that this has for their use of AIs. It then indicates how this can be integrated into the ethically appropriate design and functioning of the AIs that they use, including so-called deep-learning AIs.
