In physiotherapy practice, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common. For instance, you may be familiar with STarT Back Tool, a decision-support model designed for individuals with low back pain.1 This model can assess risks and recommends the most appropriate treatment while enhancing clients’ self-management. However, the use of AI also raises ethical questions. In this editorial we explore these ethical questions through a moral case deliberation that, while still futuristic, is rapidly approaching reality. n this editorial, we explore ethical issues regarding AI in physiotherapy. We do so through the lens of the sports medicine dialogue, a method for moral case deliberation that supports a care-ethical approach for physiotherapists and sport physicians.3 This method employs the metaphor of a sports match: itandapos;s about winning and losing, the players on the field, as well as the broader context in which the game takes place. In this method, we evaluate the perspectives of all those involved in the sport match regarding a central question. The central question that is deliberated is: “What is at stake?”.3 By use of the sports metaphor we are invited to look at an ethical question from multiple perspectives, delay our primary reactions and simplify difficult ethical problems such as the usage of AI.
