In discussion with host physician, Dr Rust Theron, Dr David Roytowski, neurosurgeon, brings a practitioner’s perspective to the ethics and application of AI in the South African healthcare context
Learning objectives
You will learn that:
- The use of AI-enhanced technologies requires vigilant attention to ethical issues and it remains the responsibility of the clinician to ensure that patient’s rights to autonomy, informed consent and privacy are protected
- AI creates opportunities to improve and streamline clinical care with increased workflow efficacy, diagnostic accuracy and perhaps even a reduction in healthcare costs. However, the 4 pillars of medical ethics will require protection and all healthcare providers need to understand where their ethical responsibilities are affected.
