Ethical Norms for the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and the Role of Nurses

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical practice creates new opportunities to enhance the quality of healthcare while simultaneously posing significant ethical challenges. This article explores key ethical aspects of AI use in various fields of medicine, including genetic editing, molecular diagnostics, telemedicine, and clinical decision support systems. Special attention is given to the role of nurses in ensuring the ethical application of AI technologies and protecting patient rights. Current issues related to data confidentiality, informed consent, and potential risks of algorithmic bias are analyzed. The article emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to AI implementation and outlines the crucial role of nurses in this process.
