Summary: The article explores the ethical and legal challenges arising from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly within clinical practice. Key points include the necessity of informed consent when integrating AI into patient care, the importance of safety and transparency in AI algorithms, the risks of biases in AI systems, concerns about data privacy, and the evolving legal landscape, notably in the United States where the FDA regulates medical devices. It underscores the need for transparency, fairness, and clear communication with patients to ensure AI’s safe and effective integration into healthcare while highlighting the ongoing regulatory changes shaping the field. This resource is important to me and my practicum team as we work with the NC Department of Health and Human Services.
