The manuscript “Trust does not need to be human: it is possible to trust medical AI” by Andrea Ferrario (Mobiliar Lab for Analytics at ETH and Chair of Technology Marketing, ETH), Michele Loi and Eleonora Viganò (University of Zurich) has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Medical Ethics (JME). The authors show the limits of a discussion on trust in medical AI that focuses on the description of trust purely in human-human terms and propose an alternative account.
