Abstract:
Artificial intelligence （AI） robots， as a dynamic force sweeping the world， have demonstrated remarkable influence in the field of medical education since their inception. They have continuously participated in medical education through online-assisted teaching of medical theory， interpretation of imaging materials， clinical skills practice， and other forms， bringing new opportunities and challenges for the development of medical education. Concurrent with transforming the field of education， AI technology has also given rise to a series of ethical issues due to the constraints of technological logic， such as algorithmic discrimination， technological dependence， data privacy breaches， emotional communication crises among teaching subjects， and blurred power boundaries. While drawing on Western ethical principles， it is crucial to maintain a sober awareness of local issues， pay attention to the realistic relationship between Confucian bioethics and medical education in China， emphasize the value-oriented function of benevolence principle in mitigating physical and mental risks， and guide students to become adults in “achieving success”； improve the institutional construction guided by the principle of the value of life， resist the risks of educational AI technology， and achieve technological goodness； build a harmonious human-machine relationship by adhering to the principle of human nature to prevent the development risks of educational AI.
