Artifical intelligence use in orthopedics: an ethical point of view

Elcil Kaya Bicer et al. EFORT Open Rev. .

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being utilized in orthopedics practice. Ethical concerns have arisen alongside marked improvements and widespread utilization of AI. Patient privacy, consent, data protection, cybersecurity, data safety and monitoring, bias, and accountability are some of the ethical concerns.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; deep learning; ethics; machine learning; orthopedics.
