Can AI in Healthcare Respect Our Humanity?
Sat Dec 28 2024
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making big waves in the healthcare industry. It's changing how we treat patients and make medical decisions. But is there a downside? Some people worry that AI could hurt our sense of human dignity. To understand this better, let's consider some Catholic ethical principles.
At the heart of the matter are concepts like human dignity, the value of life, and morality in healthcare. The main question is: how can we use AI to make healthcare better without losing what makes us human? It's a tough challenge because AI raises ethical issues like the morality of AI-driven decisions and whether healthcare will feel less personal.
The goal is to create a system that benefits everyone and respects the value of human life while also being morally responsible. We need to strike a balance between innovation and our ethical duties.
