What Are the Ethical Responsibilities of Using AI in a Clinical Setting?

The integration and use of augmented intelligence (AI) tools into clinical practice presents unique ethical challenges for physicians. This educational activity explores physicians ethical responsibilities when using AI tools in clinical settings, presenting a case study and actionable ethical pearls as guided by the AMA Code of Medical Ethics. The module guides learners in understanding the types of AI tools, evaluating tool appropriateness, addressing individual ethical scenarios, disclosing AI use, obtaining informed consent, and maintaining oversight. By engaging with the ethical principles of patient autonomy, safety, and equitable care, physicians will be prepared to bridge the gap between population-derived algorithms and individualized care. The activity empowers physicians to supplement AI outputs with clinical judgment, foster trust, and make responsible, collaborative decisions that uphold the integrity of the patient-physician relationship.
