Summary, in English

This chapter discusses implications for epigenetic responsibility that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the analysis of epigenetics gives rise to. AI technology has a capacity to see patterns in big data sets and can help improve accuracy in epigenetic based diagnostics, prognostics, and therapy. However, characteristics of AI systems such as their black-box character, and their ability to act autonomously and to improve over time without any direct involvement of humans, have repercussions for responsibility ascription. In the context of AI-based epigenetic analysis in the clinic, questions of epigenetic responsibility are interwoven with responsibility issues connected with AI in several ways that increase both individual and collective forward-looking responsibilities. This chapter illustrates the particular aspect of how health care professionals will have to take on certain forward-looking responsibilities to handle the relation to AI assisted epigenetic analysis and the patient.
