**Study** & **Areas Needing Further Research/Challenges** \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [31]} & External Validation: There is a critical need for research on methods to incorporate external validation for AI algorithms in healthcare. Current studies often rely on internal datasets, which may not reflect the variability encountered in real-world clinical settings. To ensure AI models’ generalizability and reliability, research should focus on creating methodologies for effective external validation across diverse patient populations and clinical environments. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [32]} & Dataset Diversity and Privacy: Addressing the challenges of dataset diversity and data privacy is essential for the ethical deployment of AI. There is a need to develop comprehensive datasets that are representative of different demographic and clinical variations. Additionally, research should focus on enhancing privacy measures to protect sensitive patient data from breaches and on creating ethical guidelines to prevent biases in AI models that could affect diagnostic accuracy. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] [33]} & Bias and Transparency: There is a need for research to identify and mitigate biases in AI algorithms used in medical applications. This includes developing methods to improve transparency in AI decision-making processes to ensure that users can understand and trust AI systems. Investigating ways to make AI systems more explainable and addressing the ethical implications of algorithmic biases are crucial for maintaining fairness and trust in healthcare. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [34]} & Algorithm Selection and Performance: More research is required to determine the best practices for selecting and evaluating AI algorithms in complex scenarios like surgical decision-making. This includes developing standardized criteria for algorithm performance, addressing the diversity of algorithms used, and ensuring that they are tested rigorously for reliability and fairness. Research should also focus on overcoming challenges related to data heterogeneity and algorithmic bias in surgical contexts. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [35]} & Regulatory Challenges: There is a significant need for research to develop and implement comprehensive regulatory frameworks for AI in healthcare. This includes creating guidelines that address ethical concerns such as data privacy, equity, and transparency. Research should focus on how to balance innovation with ethical considerations and establish clear regulations that ensure AI technologies are used responsibly and effectively in healthcare settings. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [36]} & Bias and Transparency in Pharmacology: Research should address biases and improve transparency in AI applications within pharmacology. This involves developing methods to identify and mitigate biases in drug discovery and efficacy predictions as well as enhancing transparency in AI-driven research processes. Ensuring data privacy and obtaining informed consent for data use are also critical areas needing further exploration to uphold ethical standards in pharmacological research. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{[PERSON] et al. [37]} & Data Security and Accessibility: Research should focus on improving data security measures and ensuring equitable access to AI technologies in ophthalmology and healthcare. This includes developing advanced strategies for protecting sensitive health data and addressing the risk of increased healthcare inequality due to biased AI algorithms. Ensuring that AI systems are accessible to diverse patient populations and improving the transparency and security of AI processes are crucial for ethical implementation. \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
