Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare ushers in a revolutionary period of innovation, but it also brings with it significant ethical dilemmas. This paper explores the complex relationship between AI and healthcare, emphasizing both its useful applications and the moral conundrums that arise. Ethical issues span a wide range, including patient privacy, transparency, accountability, and the unintentional reinforcement of biases in AI algorithms. Privacy concerns take center stage as healthcare providers utilize AI to process large volumes of patient data. Achieving a balance between harnessing AI’s power for diagnostic and predictive purposes while safeguarding sensitive medical information is a major challenge. Additionally, the review examines the potential for AI algorithms to unintentionally perpetuate biases, exacerbating health disparities. The need for effective bias mitigation strategies is crucial to ensuring that AI technologies contribute to fair and equitable healthcare outcomes. Alongside these ethical concerns, the review highlights the practical applications of AI that are reshaping healthcare. AI-driven diagnostics, predictive models, and personalized treatment plans are transforming clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes. AI has many advantages, including accelerating drug discovery, streamlining workflows, and allocating resources. In tackling the ethical issues surrounding AI in healthcare, this paper aims to support technologists, legislators, and healthcare practitioners. Through raising awareness of potential ethical issues and supporting responsible AI development, stakeholders may collaborate to build a future in which AI enhances patient care, upholds ethical standards, and improves healthcare delivery.
