  Abstract: Purpose/Significance This study aims to construct ethical responsibility system and governance path for medical artificial intelligence research, in order to address its ethical dilemma, achieve responsible and inclusive research and innovation, and provide theoretical support and practical references for the governance of medical artificial intelligence research. Method/Process Based on the four dimensional framework of anticipation, reflection, deliberation, and response of the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), this study systematically sorted out the responsibilities that all parties should fulfill in the research of medical artificial intelligence. Results/Conclusion We should implement forward-looking governance for data privacy and algorithm explainability, continually assess the impact of research by improving the ethical review mechanism and strengthening the regulatory system, achieve deliberative responsibility by promoting the participation of stakeholders and clarifying rights and responsibilities, flexibly respond to changes in public health needs through dynamic adjustments and feedback mechanisms.

  Key words: responsible research and innovation; ethical responsibility; medical artificial intelligence; ethical governance
