Abstract

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI)    and robotics is poised to redefine numerous sectors and healthcare stands at forefront of this revolution. From sophisticated diagnostic tools and robotic surgical assistants to AI-powered drug discovery and personalized treatment plans, the integration of these technologies promises unprecedented advancements in efficiency, precision and accessibility. However, this transformative potential is intrinsically linked with a complex web of ethical dilemmas. The “Doctors vs. Device” paradigm encapsulates the profound considerations necessary to ensure that these technological leaps genuinely benefit humanity, particularly within the diverse and complex healthcare landscape of a nation like India. This essay seeks to advocate for a human-centered, ethical and equitably accessible future for medical technology. Achieving this vision, however demand a robust ethical foundation, deeply rooted in established international guidelines and declarations. These global frameworks provide essential principles to ensure that advancements in medical technology are not only innovative but also responsibly developed and deployed for the benefit of all.
