Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has revolutionized the industry, offering new opportunities for personalized treatment, early disease detection, and efficiency. However, the ethical management of health data remains a significant challenge. This paper explores the governance of health data in the context of AI, emphasizing the balance between ethical considerations, privacy, security, and technological innovation. This research investigates the ethical issues related to health data governance, including data privacy, security protocols, consent, and the ethical implications of AI-driven healthcare decisions. A qualitative analysis is conducted through a review of existing literature, case studies, and the examination of current regulations and policies surrounding health data governance in healthcare organizations worldwide. The findings highlight critical challenges, including data breaches, patient consent, and the transparency of AI decision-making processes. Key ethical frameworks are proposed to ensure that healthcare organizations and AI developers adhere to robust data governance policies. The study suggests the need for stronger, more transparent regulatory frameworks to protect patient data while fostering innovation. Ethical guidelines are essential to maintaining trust in AI-driven healthcare solutions, ensuring they benefit patients without compromising their privacy.
