description Artificial intelligence (AI) is making substantial inroads into ophthalmology and health care. This review article delves into the integration of AI in ophthalmology, shedding light on its applications, implications, and potential pitfalls. The article outlines the fundamentals of AI, differentiating it from traditional computer programs. It emphasizes AI’s recent advancements in medicine and ophthalmology. Addressing the dichotomy between fully autonomous AI systems and assistive AI modes, the article underscores the importance of combining AI capabilities with human expertise. The ethical dimensions of AI’s advancement are explored, illuminated by Dr. Hinton’s resignation. Concerns regarding misinformation, job displacement, and existential risks are discussed, stressing the need for responsible AI development. The utility of AI in diagnostics and personalized treatment recommendations is examined. The significance of data preservation, ethical considerations, and training models is elaborated, along with AI’s role in clinical decision support systems. The role of computational bioethics in shaping AI’s trajectory is discussed, advocating for a human-centric approach that emphasizes explainable AI and responsible development. The importance of ethical alignment, transparency, and equitable access is highlighted within a national health AI strategy. This article emphasizes the pivotal role of health-care professionals in balancing AI’s potential with ethical considerations. The need to maintain human oversight to avoid dystopian outcomes is stressed to ensure that AI remains a transformative tool for progress in health care.
