Book excerpt: The intersection of human rights and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare represents a critical area of discussion as technological advancements reshape the medical field. AI offers the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery by improving diagnostic accuracy, personalizing treatment plans, and streamlining administrative tasks. However, its integration into healthcare systems raises ethical and human rights concerns. Issues like data privacy, algorithmic bias, informed consent, and equitable access to AI-driven care must be carefully considered to ensure that AI technologies uphold the rights of patients. Striking a balance between innovation and human rights is essential for ensuring AI contributes to more inclusive and accountable healthcare systems, where dignity and autonomy are respected, and health outcomes are improved without discrimination. As AI becomes embedded in healthcare, establishing frameworks for ethical governance and human rights protections will be critical. Intersection of Human Rights and AI in Healthcare explores the intersection between AI and healthcare, with a focus on the human element and ethical considerations. It delves into the implications of AI on human skills, the future workforce, and the role of ethical development in healthcare applications. This book covers topics such as ethics and law, patient safety, and policymaking, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymakers, healthcare professionals, academicians, scientists, and researchers.
