In their paper “Algorithms for Ethical Decision-Making in the Clinic: A Proof of Concept,” Meier et al.(2022) present the design and preliminary results of a proof-of-concept clinical ethics algorithm that they claim can use machine learning to make limited recommendations about moral dilemmas that may occur in healthcare, using the ethical framework of principlism as espoused by Beauchamp and Childress. They report some success for the algorithm, with tests producing results agreeing with ethicists in 92% of the training data set and 75% in the test set. A stated limitation of the algorithm is that it is designed based in part on the principlist approach to bioethics and does not account for other ethical frameworks. Additionally, the algorithm described by the authors requires the user to input a number of numerical variables that are subjective and would lead to variable results depending on the human utilizing the algorithm in a clinical setting. Moreover, the lack of a neutral median point in the output leads to bias toward intervention in the interpretation of the results by the authors.The purpose of this commentary is to relay and contrast some relevant lessons we have learned in our own National Science Foundation-funded work (# 2043612), where we combine the virtue theoretic, deontological, and consequentialist approaches for ethical decision-making algorithms within the Agent-Deed-Consequence (ADC) model, along with results of empirical research with human decision makers. The primary difference between METHAD and ADC approaches is that the first explores AI-assisted moral decision making, whereas the latter explores whether AI-empowered moral decision making is possible.
