Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare research promises unprecedented advancements in medical diagnostics, treatment personalization, and patient care management. However, these innovations also bring forth significant ethical challenges that must be addressed to maintain public trust, ensure patient safety, and uphold data integrity. This article sets out to introduce a detailed framework designed to steer governance and offer a systematic method for assuring that AI applications in healthcare research are developed and executed with integrity and adherence to medical research ethics.
Core Tip: This editorial sets out to introduce a detailed framework designed to steer governance and offer a systematic method for assuring that artificial intelligence applications in healthcare research are developed and executed with integrity and adherence to medical research ethics.
