Emerging technologies make it hard to follow the usual rules of ethics:
Autonomy: Patients often don’t understand complex technologies. This can make it hard for them to give informed consent. To help with this, we can improve patient education and involve them more in their care.
Non-maleficence: New technologies can cause unexpected problems, like data leaks or unfair algorithms. To lower these risks, we should check how things are working regularly and be open about our processes.
Interconnected Nature: These issues are all connected. We need to work together and include technology experts in discussions about ethics. This way, we can make sure that new developments follow ethical standards.
