Letter to the Editor: Comment on "The Application of Artificial Intelligence for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Diseases".

Published in: Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.) (2021)

among the forthcoming articles to be published in Hepatology, I noticed the extensive review by Ahn, Connell, Simonetto, Hughes & Shah concerning "The application of artificial intelligence for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases" [1]. As a bioethicist, I need to raise some concern about the perspective given by this review, which disregards some important issues concerning ethical aspects and patient-physician relationship.
