Abstract
Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that can potentially transform the diagnostic, therapeutic, and administrative practice of dermatology. Physicians are expected to complete electronic health record documentation in a timely fashion, prepare and submit previous authorizations, code for billing accurately, compose physician consultation letters, create patient education handouts, and communicate with our patients via the electronic health record. Streamlining and automating these time-intensive administrative responsibilities and tasks would likely reduce physician burnout and augment physician satisfaction at work, and enhance access to care by creating more time to care for patients. Herein we discuss the ethical issues of autonomy, informed consent, privacy, accuracy and safety regarding the use of artificial intelligence to assist us in these tasks.
人工智能（AI）是一种强大的工具，有可能改变皮肤病学的诊断、治疗和管理实践。医生需要及时完成电子健康记录（EHR）文档、准备和提交预先授权、准确编码计费、撰写医生咨询信、制作患者教育手册，并通过 EHR 与患者沟通。简化这些时间密集型的行政职责和任务并使之自动化，将有可能减少医生的职业倦怠，提高医生对工作的满意度，并通过创造更多的时间为患者提供护理服务来提高医疗服务的可及性。
