Ethical principles
Connotations
Issues faced by adolescents
Respect for autonomyEnsuring informed consent and informed choice, ensuring that humans have complete and effective autonomy, and requiring that the operation of any artificial intelligence be supervised by humansSafety and trustworthiness of screening methods; full approval from adolescents and parents; willingness to use artificial intelligence for screening[79]
NonmaleficencePrivacy, security and “capability warnings”[78]; artificial intelligence technology must be able to strongly resist malicious use, including avoiding harm to the natural environment and all living thingsPrivacy leakage and data abuse; difficulties in oversight and accountability; adverse effects and stigma with irreversible damage
BeneficenceMust be beneficial for not only the patients but also the medical cause, medical sciences and even the well-being of the entire human raceScreening scales need to be refined; no consensus (such as ethical evaluation acceptance of the technology) among different stakeholders[37]
JusticeEveryone in society has equal rights to reasonably enjoy health resources and participate in the distribution; prosperity is promoted; and unity is maintainedDevelopment of artificial intelligence cannot benefit all groups of young people[12,14,21,22,80]; intergenerational transmission maintains inequality[46,78]
