Ethical Artificial Intelligence: Potential Standards for Medical Device Manufacturers

While artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize a number of industries, the technology isn't without its controversies. Over the past few years, researchers and developers have raised concerns around the potential impacts of widespread AI adoption--and how a lack of existing ethical frameworks may put consumers at risk. These concerns may be especially relevant to medical device manufacturers, which are increasingly using AI in new medical devices like smart monitors and health wearables. New standards and regulations on ethical AI may provide essential guidance for medical device manufacturers interested in leveraging AI. The widespread use of AI could pose a number of ethical challenges.
