OBASA, Adetayo E.  and  PALK, Andrea C.. Responsible application of artificial intelligence in health care. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.5-6, pp.1-3. ISSN 1996-7489.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/14889.

SIGNIFICANCE: The responsible application of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care is crucial as it has the potential to revolutionise medical practices. AI technologies can analyse medical data, identify patterns, and generate insights that can inform clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. However, the ethical, legal, and social implications of AI in health care must be considered to ensure that its implementation is safe, transparent, and equitable. It is essential to prioritise the responsible application of these technologies to maximise their benefits and minimise potential harm. As AI continues to advance, its responsible application will play a vital role in shaping the future of health care.

Keywords : artificial intelligence; responsible application; algorithm biases; ethical governance and regulation.
