[The effects of the deployment of artificial intelligence on the healthcare professions]

Understanding the effects of the spread of artificial intelligence and robotization on the healthcare professions must be free of prejudice. In this way, it will be possible to promote a real methodology for evaluating and supporting these transformations.

[Digital healthcare commons: artificial intelligence as a means of inclusion]

The progress made in the medical field thanks to artificial intelligence and its applications has developed doctors' knowledge and patients' knowledge of how to act. By giving a voice to all stakeholders in care, a commons of digital healthcare practices can be formed. Certain therapeutic support and monitoring tools, based on dialogue between health professionals, already exist. By guiding them by means of an approach of collective ethics, they, and likewise artificial intelligence, can help to foster inclusion.

[Positive ethical regulation of digital technology in care plan]

The shift in our healthcare system towards organisational models based on patient care management is one of the structural changes that have taken place in recent years. Digital technology represents a major lever to support this transformation, which has high stakes for improving the quality and efficiency of patient care. Positive regulation of the associated ethical issues can be achieved through the principle of a human guarantee of digital technology and artificial intelligence in health care, which is currently being recognised in the framework of the revision of the bioethics law.

[Ethics and artificial intelligence in healthcare, towards positive regulation]

The positive regulation of artificial intelligence in healthcare represents a major stake to allow a diffusion of digital innovation, in a spirit of openness and coherence with ethical values. Operational principles have been proposed, particularly around the concept of Human Guarantee. The opinion issued at the end of 2018 by the National Consultative Ethics Committee is an important step forward in the recognition of this idea which leaves a large capacity for initiative to professionals and patients.
