AI in Genetic Counseling: Ethical Considerations

Genetic counseling is a process of providing information and support to individuals and families who have or are at risk of genetic disorders. Genetic counselors help people understand their genetic risks, options, and implications, and guide them to make informed decisions. Genetic counseling is a rapidly evolving field that faces new challenges and opportunities with the advancement of technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a branch of computer science that aims to create machines or systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and decision making. AI has many applications in healthcare, such as diagnosis, treatment, research, and education. AI can also be used in genetic counseling, for example, to assist with risk assessment, variant interpretation, report generation, patient education, and psychosocial support. <a href="https://medium.com/@staneyjoseph.in/ai-in-genetic-counseling-ethical-considerations-af6fef7a7a11">Read More</a>
