Full Description
This is the first book to examine the rising use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data in military and humanitarian healthcare, including the use of AI for diagnostic assistants, robotic surgery, and the general practice of medicine itself. Although AI and Big Data may simplify and improve a wide range of healthcare processes and procedures in very difficult situations, their use also raises a number of significant ethical challenges and dilemmas. These challenges are addressed for the first time in the contributions of this book, which derive from a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary forum on the topic held at Jongny, Switzerland in June 2024. The resulting volume offers the first and most authoritative examination of the use of AI for military and humanitarian healthcare. It also addresses resulting questions about leadership, values, and fundamental epistemological questions concerning AI. This volume is of interest to healthcare professionals, officers in the military, humanitarian aid workers, researchers, policymakers, and advanced students in the fields of medical ethics, military ethics, artificial intelligence, and the ethics of technology.
