Abstract：To understand the difference in the perceptions of ethical issues in the medical application of
artificial intelligence（AI）among medical personnel in public hospitals as well as its influencing factors and
provide suggestions for improving the medical personnel’s ethical cognition and ethical decision⁃making ability in
the application of artificial intelligence in the medical field in public hospitals，a total of 813 medical personnel
participated with a self⁃designed questionnaire by convenient sampling method in a tertiary public hospital in
Anhui Province. The channels for medical personnel to understand the ethical problems in the medical application
of AI were diversified，mainly through news and popular scientific articles. Medical personnel believed that
security risk and privacy protection were the most critical ethical issues in the medical applications of AI，
accounting for a high proportion of 76.1% and 64.9%，respectively. Their length of medical service，professional
titles，and knowledge of AI medical applications were related to their perception of ethical problems in AI
medical application（P< 0.05）. Most medical personnel have a low level of understanding of the application of AI
in medicine and its ethical problems，with a lack of systematic cognition. We suggest strengthening the education
and training of medical personnel on the ethical knowledge in AI medical application；taking effective measures
to improve the ethical awareness and the ability of medical personnel in the medical application of AI；

standardizing the development of the algorithm of medical AI technology；improving the ethical supervision
system of medical AI，and promoting relevant legislation to promote the reliable development of medical artificial
intelligence.
