<div>Hi everyone, <br></div><div><br></div><div>Apologies for cross-posting.</div><div><br></div><div>BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making is calling for submissions to our <span class="gmail-il">Collection</span> in Ethical Issues in the application of artificial intelligence to health and medicine. </div><div><br></div><div>The
integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health and medicine is
rapidly transforming patient care, diagnostics, and treatment planning.
However, this does not come without a myriad of ethical issues and
considerations that require rigorous evaluation and careful discussion:
from questions of accountability and explainability in decision-making
to concerns over data privacy and informed consent, from data embedded
bias and health inequalities to lack of metrics and processes to
evaluate fairness. </div><div><br></div><div>This <span class="gmail-il">Collection</span>
aims to explore these complex issues, fostering a deeper understanding
of how AI can be ethically applied in medical contexts. Continued
research in this area has the potential to yield innovative guidelines
and policies that govern the ethical use of AI technologies in
healthcare. This research trajectory may pave the way for a future where
AI supports clinical decision-making in a transparent,accountable
manner, aligned with the values of modern medicine. This <span class="gmail-il">Collection</span>
invites research on how to address ethical issues arising from the
application of artificial intelligence in health and medicine. We seek
contributions that explore the relation between the use of AI in
medicine and medical decision-making, transparency, patient rights, and
potential bias. By addressing such ethics-relevant considerations,we aim
to facilitate the development of guidelines and technical advancements
that ensure the responsible integration of AI technologies into clinical
practice. </div><div><br></div><div>All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to <span class="gmail-il">collections</span> and <span class="gmail-il">special</span>
