Description:

Generative Artificial Intelligence and Ethics for Healthcare explores how generative AI is transforming clinical practice, research, and health systems, and what it means to use these technologies responsibly. The book starts with core concepts and architectures of generative AI and large language models, then examines ethical theories, case studies in healthcare, and the policy and governance questions that follow from real-world deployment. It closes with forward-looking chapters on lawfulness, empathy, health equity, and governability in AI-enabled healthcare ecosystems.

Written by leading experts in AI and machine learning, the book is designed to help healthcare professionals, policymakers, academics, and AI developers understand both the opportunities and the risks of generative AI in health, from bias and data privacy to transparency, accountability, and patient trust.

Key Features:

• Provides a clear, accessible introduction to generative AI concepts, architectures, and applications in healthcare.
• Examines ethical challenges including bias in training data, explainability, trust, accountability, and informed consent. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Covers critical topics such as data privacy, patient data ownership, health equity, and lawfulness in AI deployment.
• Includes dedicated chapters on autonomous diagnosis, personalized medicine, empathy in AI systems, and the role of governability.
• Connects ethical analysis with policy debates and regulatory trends, helping readers anticipate emerging governance frameworks.
• Offers practical insights for clinicians, AI teams, and institutions that are evaluating or implementing generative AI tools.
