Improvements in AI technologies have made it feasible to develop new types of medical AI tools. However, these tools raise new kinds of questions, especially in relation to the ethics and AI Act compliance.  \nWe analyzed two cases of AI tools developed to predict medical risks, the risk of work disability (case A) and the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease (case B) . We observed both cases using the ethical AI and the EU AI Act as frameworks, noted that they classify as high-risk systems, and that bringing them from the research environment to production would require a lot of work and compliance due to the related regulation.  \nKeywords: AI Ethics, EU AI Act, Health, Work disability, Alzheimer’s Disease  \nAcknowledgement: This preprint has not undergone peer review or any postsubmission improvements or corrections.

Almost every week we hear about a new product, new model, or a new capability AI can do, and companies are rushing to integrate AI into their operations while students and regular users have picked it up as a part of their daily routines. The speed of the adaptation of the new technology has caught most by surprise, and sparked debate on the ethics and regulations related to the safe and beneficial use of AI. Ethics is a core topic in both Medical research and AI. Many of the topics relating to both these fields are impactful topics requiring careful study of their ethical impacts to avoid maleficence or misuse. Systematic  \n2 Andberg, Terho, and Saarela  \nliterature review by Kargl et al. shows the need for an ethical, mindful and balanced approach to AI in biomedical research, specifically the need for AI ethics research [12] .  \nOne way to handle the ethical aspects is to use the AI for Good framework. AI for the Good refers to methods through which AI is used for beneficial purposes [23] . An AI for the Good framework is AI4People, which was established to help use AI towards the good of society, its members, and the environment [5] . An ideal society could be one where as many people as possible remain healthy and capable of working. The tax money collected from work would take care of children, the elderly, and the people who are unable to work themselves. However, we do not live in an ideal society: Too many people become unable to work before their actual retirement age [15] . Especially, various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, have increased significantly [26] . It is also known that the earlier a person receives support, the more likely they are to avoid disability pensions and to be able to continue in their job. The same applies to dementia: early intervention slows the progression of the disease and provides additional healthy years [26] . The early detection of various diseases is therefore important.  \nAt the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods have developed tremendously. We can describe AI as systems that display intelligent behaviour by analyzing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals [22] . Different AI techniques are, for example, rule","cbCaihnVVCRYAuzh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihnVVCRYAuzh","pdf",184591,5,1,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# AI Ethics and EU AI Act","[{\"question\":\"What medical AI use cases does the study analyze?\",\"answer\":\"The study analyzes two AI tools that predict medical risks: work disability risk (case A) and risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease (case B).\"},{\"question\":\"How does the EU AI Act affect these AI tools?\",\"answer\":\"Evaluated through EU AI Act and ethical AI frameworks, both tools are classified as high-risk systems, so production use requires significant compliance work.\"},{\"question\":\"What risk categorization questions does the research aim to answer?\",\"answer\":\"The research asks which EU AI Act and ethical risk categories apply to the two systems, and how those categorizations influence their development and deployment.\"}]",1784191605,20,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":27},"ethics-and-eu-ai-act-in-cases-of-work-disability-risk-and-alzheimers-disease-risk-prediction","",{"@graph":35,"@context":85},[36,53,68],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/ethics-and-eu-ai-act-in-cases-of-work-disability-risk-and-alzheimers-disease-risk-prediction/83944/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-25","2026-07-16",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What medical AI use cases does the study analyze?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The study analyzes two AI tools that predict medical risks: work disability risk (case A) and risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease (case B).","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"How does the EU AI Act affect these AI tools?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"Evaluated through EU AI Act and ethical AI frameworks, both tools are classified as high-risk systems, so production use requires significant compliance work.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What risk categorization questions does the research aim to answer?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"The research asks which EU AI Act and ethical risk categories apply to the two systems, and how those categorizations influence their development and deployment.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,101,105,109,114,119,122,126,129,133],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":28,"slug":125},9,"Religion & Spirituality","religion-spirituality",{"id":28,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":28,"slug":128},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":132},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":136},19,"General","general"]
