Abstract
Ethics as a discipline is defined as the conduct of human beings in relation to their responsibility for what others expect them to do voluntarily, so its importance lies in knowing what is right and wrong as individuals and as society. The Belmont Report considers three universal basic principles for the ethical conduct of human research: respect for people, charity and justice. Research processes in nutriology may present some ethical dilemmas between the researcher and the subject of study, that are recommended for treatment within an ethics committee following the basic principles of bioethics and good clinical research practices. There are several applications of artificial intelligence (AI) that can be used in nutrition research projects or clinical practice, based on hybrid human-machine decision models. However, its use presents a number of risks and challenges that are worth considering. Conclusion: Scientific research requires careful attention to ethical principles, promoting observance of autonomy, beneficence, non- maleficence, justice, fairness, scientific integrity and accountability throughout the research process. The impact of AI on nutriology is related to biased self-information, greater benefits in adherence to treatments and better quality of life for subjects.
