A recent survey reveals the ethical concerns of US oncologists regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in cancer treatment decisions. The survey highlights contradictory views on patient understanding of AI tools and the responsibility of oncologists in protecting patients from biased AI.
A recent survey highlighted ethical concerns US oncologists have about using artificial intelligence to help make cancer treatment decisions and revealed some contradictory views about how best to integrate these tools into practice. Most respondents, for instance, said patients should not be expected to understand how AI tools work, but many also felt patients could make treatment decisions based on AI-generated recommendations.
In the current study, researchers asked 204 oncologists from 37 states for their views on the ethical implications of using AI for cancer care. The researchers assessed respondents' answers to various questions, including whether to provide informed consent for AI use and how oncologists would approach a scenario where the AI model and the oncologist recommended a different treatment regimen.
