When determining its suitability for health uses, should Artificial Intelligence(AI)-based health technology be evaluated differently from other technologies? Although the evaluation of technological developments is strongly oriented to the process (design) and market impact, the evaluation of health technologies is strongly oriented towards the consequences, both positive and negative, on the health of individuals and the health of the population. The evaluation of health technologies must continue evolving to adapt to the defiance posed by AI in health, and thus respond to the growing expectations, the new social, legal, and ethical challenges, and the new evaluative restrictions that different authors have highlighted as challenges in the implementation of IA technologies. We require new professional and social consensus around this issue that is already being implemented and developed (even by itself) with dizzying speed. This paper presents some personal reflections on the subject from the fundamental principles of evaluation and bioethics considerations.
