Generative AI, Specific Moral Values: A Closer Look at ChatGPT’s New Ethical Implications for Medical AI
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cohen's (2023) mapping exercise of possible bioethical issues emerging from the use of ChatGPT in medicine provides an informative, useful, and thought-provoking trigger for discussions of AI ethics in health.Yet, he acknowledges that it is not exhaustive.Cohen's analysis carefully considers principles such as privacy and bias prevention, but it does not delve into areas such as explainability, responsibility, or accountability, which are essential to explore.In this commentary we build on Cohen's foundation, adding implications that stem from a distinctive feature of ChatGPT that differentiates it from conventional medical AI tools.In the context of our ongoing research under the NIH-funded Bridge2AI program, we are spearheading the first comprehensive scoping review of ethical and trustworthy medical AI design, employing a bioethical lens to focus on value-based aspects (Victor et al., 2023).Our review spans a broad range of literature, revealing the core moral values that underscore medical AI development.This review enables us to inform a 'value-sensitive design' approach to medical AI.Our work validates Cohen's arguments regarding ChatGPT raising familiar bioethical issues such as bias and privacy, but also brings to light uncharted ethical challenges arising from ChatGPT's status as a general AI model.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
