Synopsis
The ethics of machine learning in health
Machine learning technology means that clinical practice in the future could involve real-time research, at least partially conducted by computers. The ethical standards of both research and medical practice will need to be adapted and applied to ensure that this happens in an acceptable way – delivering the promised benefits while minimising risk of harm.
