Legislative systems are currently unable to match pace with the rate of advancement of new digital technologies. There are also many ethical concerns surrounding the use of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) in society, especially in medical care. Such tools have the potential to increase or continue to reflect pre-existing biases and inequalities, as well as increase the digital divide for some people. To address these concerns, ethical and regulatory frameworks and considerations should be at the forefront of decision making regarding the application of AI and digital technology in order to promote equity, fairness and transparency.
