What ethical principles should guide the use of AI in healthcare?

Key ethical principles include: transparency (disclosure of how algorithms are developed and their limitations), explainability (ability of clinicians and patients to understand how decisions are made), accountability (clear responsibility when things go wrong), fairness (auditing for algorithmic bias across protected characteristics), and patient autonomy (maintaining meaningful human oversight and consent). The NHS Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard requires public-sector bodies to document AI-assisted decisions.
