In this high-stakes scenario, negotiating with the protesters via the intercom offers a potential path to de-escalate the situation without immediately violating security protocols or proceeding without consent, thereby respecting ethical principles of autonomy and non-maleficence while addressing the urgent need to save the patient's life. This choice considers stakeholders including the patient, whose life is at risk; the doctor, who needs access; the protesters, whose concerns about AI malpractice should be acknowledged; and the hospital, which must maintain trust and safety. However, there are uncertainties such as the time negotiation might take, which could still result in fatal delay, creating a trade-off between immediate action and peaceful resolution.
