Abstract

Artificial intelligence applications are gaining traction in a variety of industries, with the promise of optimising resources and obtaining better outcomes through Big Data analysis. The potential of A.I. algorithms is generally recognised even in the healthcare field. However, healthcare, more than any other sector, must consider the ethical implications of employing these tools and what may happen if things do not go as planned. This essay addresses the key ethical dilemmas that are now open, establishing a classification based on functional elements and suggesting an order of significance to aid in their resolution.
