The Demographic Cliff: How to Survive and Prosper During the Great Deflation

Amazon Publishing recently published a new book by Dr. Amid Khaled Abdel Hamid, entitled Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, which is an intellectual work that discusses one of the most pressing issues in contemporary medicine, related to the ethical transformations imposed by the accelerating use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The author, an Iraqi-British doctor and academic researcher, and one of the contributing writers on the “Science” page in the “Al-Sharq Al-Awsat” newspaper, provides a deep analytical reading of the complex relationship between medical algorithms and clinical decisions, highlighting the ethical challenges associated with diagnosis supported by artificial intelligence, health data management, and the limits of responsibility when an error occurs. The book starts from the historical roots of medical ethics, starting with the Code of Hammurabi, which established the principle of physician accountability, passing through the wisdom of Ibn Sina and the philosophy of Ibn Rushd in linking medical knowledge with moral responsibility, all the way to contemporary questions posed by artificial intelligence systems in the age of digital medicine.
