Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown itself to be one of the most essential resources in increasing the probability and early detection of pandemics through its data processing and decision-making impressiveness. Nevertheless, the use of AI in this context is associated with major effective issues that should be discussed in details. A review of the ethics of using AI during a pandemic is the subject of this research paper that also defines key aspects including; privacy, bias, accountability, transparency, informed consent, and equity. This study reveals the ethical concerns when using AI technologies on public health through current literature analysis and case study examination. It also offers over arching policy suggestion that seek to address these worries and guarantee that AI technology is used right and fairly. Therefore the study calls for professionalism in developing and implementing functional ethical standards guiding the application of AI initiatives in predicting and preventing pandemics with the ultimate goal of increasing trust in the general population of the health interventions being offered.
