Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now integrated into a variety of fields, including medicine. AI applications raise numerous ethical questions, particularly about quality of care and patient-clinician relationships. This article accompanies 2 digital photo-paintings that address these ideas narratively and visually, with special emphasis on communication, compassion, and competence.
