Ethics and Governance of AI in Healthcare discusses how ethical and human rights issues can be integrated into the transformational potential of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automation in the fields of medicine and public health.
Through a broad sociological lens, the book takes a critical perspective on the social implications of AI and related technologies. It begins by examining the huge impact that AI is already having on medicine and public health, before spotlighting the inequalities in the way AI is designed and deployed across different social groups, highlighting issues of class, race, and gender, as well as power disparities in the roll-out of these technologies. The book then explores current ethical standards within healthcare settings, including technical and sociotechnical biases encoded into existing systems, before looking at a range of existing governmental approaches to AI regulation in medicine and healthcare. It concludes by suggesting a new sociological framework to ensure the governance of AI fully considers ethical and human rights issues in the future.
Important and erudite, and including practical recommendations, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars across Public Health, Sociology, Health and Social Care, Medicine and Nursing, as well as practitioners and policy-makers in these fields.
