The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare presents unprecedented opportunities for improving patient care and outcomes, yet it also brings forth a myriad of ethical dilemmas that demand careful consideration. This article examines the ethical challenges posed by AI in healthcare, ranging from concerns about algorithmic bias and patient privacy to issues of transparency, accountability, and professional autonomy. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, case studies, and regulatory considerations, the study explores the multifaceted ethical implications of AI technologies in clinical practice. Key findings underscore the importance of promoting transparency and accountability in AI algorithm development and deployment, as well as the need for robust regulatory oversight and ethical guidance to ensure patient rights and safety. Despite the complexities and challenges, AI offers immense potential to enhance patient care and healthcare efficiency when navigated responsibly and ethically. By prioritizing ethical principles and collaborative efforts, stakeholders can harness the transformative power of AI while upholding the highest standards of ethical healthcare practice.
