Artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as the 'fourth industrial revolution' with wide-reaching implications globally, including in health. AI methods and applications hold promise for aiding in the promotion of health behaviours, the detection of and early intervention in addressing communicable and non-communicable diseases, the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and the development of equitable public health and health systems policies. However, AI also raises important ethical issues and questions. With increasing scale and spread of AI methods and technologies in health, it is imperative to identify and address these ethical issues and questions early, systematically and by design. The goal of this introductory course on ethics and AI for health is to orient students to the core ethical issues relevant to AI research and practice in contemporary health systems.
