| description | In this paper, two central questions will be addressed: ought we to implement medical
AI technology in the medical domain? If yes, how ought we to implement this
technology? I will critically engage with three options that exist with respect to these
central questions: the Neo-Luddite option, the Assistive option, and the Substitutive
option. I will first address key objections on behalf of the Neo-Luddite option: the
Objection from Bias, the Objection from Artificial Autonomy, the Objection from
Status Quo, and the Objection from Inscrutability. I will thereafter present the Demographic
Trends Argument and the Human Enhancement Argument in support of
alternatives to the Neo-Luddite option. In the second half of the paper, I will argue
against the Substitutive option and in favour of the Assistive option, given the existence
of two chief formal deficits in medical AI technology: the causality deficit and the care
deficit. |
