ABSTRACT
The applications of artificial intelligence, in medicine in recent
years, have grown exponentially, as well as its ethical
challenges. The use of large data sets in conjunction with
real-time diagnostic capabilities has been demonstrated to
engender a reduction in waiting times and an enhancement
in decision-making processes. This represents a significant
benefit of the tool under consideration. It is evident that, due
to its foundation on algorithms, AI possesses the capacity
to instigate biases that may unwittingly perpetuate existing
disparities within the healthcare sector.
