A new research paper introduces a framework to audit the ethical values embedded within large language models used for medical advice. The study found that while current models can discuss competing ethical principles, their decisions are often deterministic and reflect systematic, sometimes concerning, value preferences, particularly underweighting patient autonomy. The researchers warn that deploying these models without considering their inherent ethical biases could lead to a widespread adoption of a single ethical stance, replacing the natural pluralism found in human medical practice.
