Resumo(s)
The role and presence of artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly growing in everyone’s lives due to its employment in several industries, and healthcare (HC) is not an exception. With its particularities, many believe the quality of care can benefit from the contribution of such technology to an industry that guarantees one of human’s fundamental rights. Many, however, are reluctant towards its disruptive power. Research showed how much of it lies with Ethical concerns that are seen as crucial to guarantee an application of AI that is trustworthy and value-upholding, which justifies the significant difference between published AI studies for HC and the implemented ones on the “bedside” of patients who could benefit from it. To bridge this gap, the present work explores how ethical considerations can be incorporated into AI development and implementation for HC. To answer this, a literature review was carried out on AI, AI presence in the HC industry, and ethics. Based on a quantitative research methodology, three case studies were analysed to propose a framework that encapsulates ethical considerations research showed to be more significant for the industry. The produced framework also reflects what the AI lifecycle should be when producing a trustworthy artefact moved by engaged multidisciplinary stakeholders. With the present work, Portugal’s findings were analysed, essential practices and guidelines were highlighted throughout the framework, and a step further was given to leverage AI to a responsible end while avoiding an “AI winter”.
