Bioethical implications of artificial intelligence use in the health area: an integrative literature review

Authors

Abstract

The presence of artificial intelligence in everyday life is evident, and it is no different in the field of health,
where it has become an important tool in helping to diagnose illnesses, decision making, provide clinical
care and develop health research, among other things. This study analyzed recent published research on
the bioethical implications of the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. This is an integrative
literature review, with data collected from the Scientific Electronic Library Online, the Virtual Health Library
and the National Center for Biotechnological Information of the National Library of Medicine. The results
show that although artificial intelligence is seen and used as an aid to health, professionals remain
apprehensive regarding the ethical and bioethical aspects and legal responsibilities regarding its use.
