Although their potential to enhance outcomes and efficiency is substantial, their integration into clinical practice also raises profound ethical challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethical Framework<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These challenges span the entire lifecycle of predictive models from data collection and development to validation and clinical use. They touch upon patient privacy, algorithmic bias, transparency, and the shifting responsibilities of clinicians. Importantly, the ethical concerns are not isolated to one group but shared across patients, developers, and clinicians within a dynamic stakeholder relationship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Key risks include biased or unrepresentative datasets, privacy breaches, opaque decision\u2010making processes, and the danger of deskilling surgeons if reliance on algorithms becomes excessive. To mitigate these risks, strategies, such as out\u2010of\u2010distribution detection, standardized data collection, parallel model development, and continuous auditing, are essential. Beyond technical safeguards, embedding predictive models within a framework of accountability and patient\u2010centered care is necessary to sustain trust and equity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The integration of predictive models into surgery requires more than technical excellence, and it demands ethical vigilance. Preparing future clinicians through education that emphasizes both clinical reasoning and ethical awareness is critical. By aligning predictive model development with human\u2010centered values, healthcare systems can ensure that these innovations enhance surgical practice while safeguarding equity, transparency, and patient trust.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wjs.70080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,5]],"date-time":"2025-09-05T01:32:04Z","timestamp":1757035924000},"page":"2837-2845","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Ethical Pitfalls in AI\u2010Based Predictive Models in Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9893-8407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Ben Hmido","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Amsterdam University Medical Centers  Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Cancer Center Amsterdam  Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Houssam","family":"Abder Rahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TU Delft  Delft the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boris","family":"Keller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TU Delft  Delft the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Freek","family":"Daams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Amsterdam University Medical Centers  Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Cancer Center Amsterdam  Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthijs","family":"Schakel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Data Science Amsterdam University Medical Centers  Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
