Background and Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly expanding as one of the most advanced modern technologies in various healthcare fields. Its predictive capabilities help physicians improve disease diagnosis, optimize treatment, and enhance the quality of healthcare services. However, the use of this innovative technology also presents ethical challenges that require comprehensive and meticulous examination. The Islamic ethical approach to AI can enhance the performance of intelligent systems while minimizing potential risks. This study aims to examine the ethical challenges of AI in healthcare and align them with Islamic teachings and the principles of Quranic sciences.
Materials and Methods: This applied research adopts a literature review approach to identify and analyze the ethical challenges of AI in healthcare from the perspective of the Quran and Islamic teachings. Keywords such as "artificial intelligence," "healthcare," "ethical challenges," "Islamic teachings," and "Quranic sciences" were searched in Google, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases. Relevant articles and websites were thoroughly reviewed. Ethical principles related to AI were extracted through qualitative content analysis, which led to the development of a conceptual framework.
Results: The conceptual framework categorizes the ethical challenges of AI in healthcare, along with their alignment with Islamic teachings, into six main areas: patient privacy and human dignity, human interactions and social relationships, fairness and medical justice, perfectionism and accountability, transparency, and environmental sustainability.
Conclusion: The integration of science and religion, as discussed in various interpretations, suggests that religious teachings can provide a robust ethical foundation for AI applications. Designers and programmers should adhere to Islamic ethical principles and develop systems that align with Islamic values.
