Commissioners of artificial intelligence (AI) for health care, clinicians who use it, and patients who receive care including it may wish to ask themselves, 'What do I need to understand to commission, or use, healthcare systems that include automation, machine learning, or artificial intelligence, in a way that I trust, and that promotes trust for others?What will the public expect to have been considered?'This can be a challenge as technology is often created, and implemented, before the debate has been had, and people have developed informed views.We outline some key questions.
