Generative artificial intelligence and ethical considerations in health care: a scoping review and ethics checklist
The widespread use of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (known as ChatGPT) and other emerging technology that is powered by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has drawn attention to the potential ethical issues they can cause, especially in high-stakes applications such as health care, but ethical discussions have not yet been translated into operationalisable solutions. Furthermore, ongoing ethical discussions often neglect other types of GenAI that have been used to synthesise data (eg, images) f…
Researchers developed a checklist for comprehensive assessment of ethical discussions in GenAI research that can be integrated into peer review to enhance research and support ethics disclosures for health-care applications.
Widespread use of ChatGPT and other generative AI has raised potential ethical issues in high-stakes health care applications, but ethical discussions have not yet been translated into operationalisable solutions.
Existing ethical discussions have focused on ChatGPT and similar text models while neglecting other types of GenAI used to synthesise data like images, which both resolve and expose different ethical issues.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0360 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
