Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The increased utilization of Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare changes practice and introduces ethical implications for AI adoption in medicine. We assess medical doctors' ethical stance in situations that arise in adopting an AI-enabled Clinical Decision Support System (AI-CDSS) for antibiotic prescribing decision support in a healthcare institution in Singapore.
