Fostering Trust in AI-Driven Healthcare: A Brief Review of Ethical and Practical Considerations

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to become more integrated into healthcare systems, establishing trust is crucial for its successful implementation and widespread use. This paper examines the ethical and practical considerations necessary for cultivating trust in AI-driven healthcare. It begins by exploring the ethical challenges that can erode patient and provider confidence in AI, such as concerns about data privacy, informed consent, and algorithmic bias. The discussion then moves to the importance of transparency in AI systems, emphasizing the need for explainable AI models that enable healthcare professionals to understand and interpret AI-driven recommendations effectively. Additionally, the paper highlights the vital role of accountability and governance frameworks to ensure that AI applications comply with ethical standards and regulations. It also considers practical aspects, including the implementation of strong data management practices, ongoing monitoring of AI system performance, and the participation of multidisciplinary teams in the development and deployment of AI solutions. By addressing these ethical and practical issues, this paper aims to offer a strategic approach for building trust in AI-driven healthcare, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes, improved care delivery, and a more ethical application of advanced technologies within the health sector.
