AI Ethics

Technologies that simulate empathy or human-like conversation may support communication in dementia care while also creating ethical risks. The review will examine ethical issues as independent themes and in relation to specific technologies and care environments. Generative AI in dementia care may create risks around deception, anthropomorphism, unclear consent, emotional manipulation, privacy, and dependence on automated systems. Data charting will capture ethical considerations including informed consent, deception, authenticity, algorithmic bias, and professional boundaries.
