Abstract
There is
enormous interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) in
health care contexts. But before AI can be used in such
settings, we need to make sure that AI researchers and
organizations follow appropriate ethical frameworks and
guidelines when developing these technologies. In recent
years, a great number of ethical frameworks for AI have been
proposed. However, these frameworks have tended to be
abstract and not explain what grounds and justifies their
recommendations and how one should use these recommendations
in practice. In this paper, I shall propose an AI ethics
framework that is grounded in substantive, human rights theory
and one that can help us address these questions.
