In healthcare, the role of AI is continually evolving and understanding the challenges its introduction poses on relationships between healthcare providers and patients will require a regulatory and behavioural approach that can provide a guiding base for all users involved. In this paper, we present ACIPS (Acceptability, Comfortability, Informed Consent, Privacy, and Security), a framework for evaluating patient response to the introduction of AI-enabled digital technologies in healthcare settings. We justify the need for ACIPS with a general introduction of the challenges with and perceived relevance of AI in human-welfare centered fields, with an emphasis on the provision of healthcare. The framework is composed of five principles that measure the perceptions of acceptability, comfortability, informed consent, privacy, and security patients hold when learning how AI is used in their healthcare. We propose that the tenets composing this framework can be translated into guidelines outlining the proper use of AI in healthcare while broadening the limited understanding of this topic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
