Abstract

 

Dermatology has gradually changed over the past few decades with the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of medicine. However, the application of Artificial intelligence in clinical practice remains a challenge.

When using Artificial intelligence in the dermatology practice, it is extremely important to consider not only the diagnosis and treatment of patients but also medical ethics details. This article reveals that there may be ethical difficulties when using Artificial intelligence in the field of dermatology and addresses the challenges related to ethical problems that Artificial intelligence may have caused in dermatological practices in recent years.  Artificial intelligence in medicine and dermatology causes challenges related to ethics and transparency. There are ethical problems, risks, and potential harms associated with the unexamined use of Artificial intelligence and machine learning when applied to health information and services.

Studies have shown that Artificial intelligence can diagnose skin lesions using clinical and dermoscopic images with accuracy that is on par with or better than dermatologists. As a result, Artificial intelligence is becoming a more significant tool in dermatology. 

Advances in artificial technology improve diagnostic precision and enable early illness assessment.  The accuracy rate of artificial intelligence systems used in skin cancer diagnosis is almost the same as dermatologists.

However, there is still a dearth of clinical validation in the actual world. In this article, deep learning applications in dermatology are examined, which is the state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence technology for image analysis. We also assess the technology's present limitations, possible points of failure, difficulties with performance measurement, interpretability, and ethical issues. It is crucial to take into account medical ethics in addition to patient diagnosis and treatment when implementing Artificial intelligence in dermatology practices. This article discusses the ethical issues that Artificial intelligence may have raised in dermatological practices in the recent past and indicates that there might be moral dilemmas when applying Artificial Intelligence in this field.
