Özet
ABSTRACT
The substantial integration of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in healthcare
is the main factor behind profound changes in the diagnostic and treatment processes. These
mechanisms, on one hand, are a great clinical decision-making support tool, but, on the other
hand, the issues of privacy, data protection, and ethical accountability come to the front. Mass
health data processing provokes a lot of profound questions, among them are the risk of reidentification,
the traceability of data flows, the transparency of algorithmic processes, and
clearness of how and why the data are used. AI technology installation hospitals is not just about
upgrading the technical operations but patient rights, principles of justice, and institutional
accountability, which form a complex multidimensional structure, are directly affected there.
This research gives a broad picture of the privacy and ethical problems that come from
healthcare applications driven by AI and big data. The conversation features the significance of
several core principles such as technical safeguards, algorithmic explainability, data
minimization, the just allocation of responsibility, and the establishment of patient trust. Health
data are of such a nature that the problems raised cannot be solved by mere technological means.
A blend of moral principles and institutional policies is required in the handling of such issues.In general, big data and AI technologies are a great asset to the healthcare sector but if their
ethical and privacy aspects are left unattended, their trustworthiness and public acceptance may
be at risk. Against this background, the paper is intended to highlight the major ethical issues
that are becoming increasingly dominant in the provision of modern healthcare services.
