Could Medical Ethics Guide Us to Good AI? As the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution continues to transform the world, more and more ethical questions are rising. Could our experience in medicine help navigate the ethical thickets ahead? From the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to the Milgram Experiment, from the Belmont Report to Institutional Review Boards, there are many lessons that might guide us to Good AI.

For those who may want to get a feel for the basics of medical ethics, here is a good summary:
Autonomy
Justice
The idea that the burdens and benefits of new or experimental treatments must be distributed equally among all groups in society. Requires that procedures uphold the spirit of existing laws and are fair to all players involved. The health care provider must consider four main areas when evaluating justice: fair distribution of scarce resources, competing needs, rights and obligations, and potential conflicts with established legislation. Reproductive technologies create ethical dilemmas because treatment is not equally available to all people.
Beneficence
Requires that the procedure be provided with the intent of doing good for the patient involved. Demands that health care providers develop and maintain skills and knowledge, continually update training, consider individual circumstances of all patients, and strive for net benefit.
Non-maleficence
Requires that a procedure does not harm the patient involved or others in society. Infertility specialists operate under the assumption that they are doing no harm or at least minimizing harm by pursuing the greater good. However, because assistive reproductive technologies have limited success rates uncertain overall outcomes, the emotional state of the patient may be impacted negatively. In some cases, it is difficult for doctors to successfully apply the do no harm principle.Medical Ethics 101
