⚠️ Healthcare risk: Are we automating ethics out of critical medical decisions? 🧬🤖
A warning that rapid AI adoption in healthcare — especially for automating claims and approvals — creates ethical blind spots:
🔹 Algorithms boost short-term profits by automating denials
🔹 Vulnerable populations suffer disproportionate harm
🔹 Patients are left confused by opaque, automated decisions
🔹 Legal compliance ≠ ethical care
The ethical imperative for healthcare leaders:
🧠 Increase clinician oversight on automated decisions
📖 Ensure transparency — patients deserve to know how decisions are made
🔍 Audit for bias and assess real-world impact, not just efficiency gains
🛡️ Technology can improve healthcare — but only if human dignity stays at the center.
