In this scenario, the patient's life is in immediate danger, and any delay guarantees death, making the ethical principle of beneficence—prioritizing the saving of a life—outweigh the adherence to security protocols and the need for explicit human consent. While upholding protocols maintains system integrity and trust in AI operations, and negotiating with protesters could potentially resolve the situation without breaking rules, the uncertainty of successful negotiation in time introduces unacceptable risk to the patient. Stakeholders include the patient, whose survival is at stake; the medical staff, who rely on protocols; the protesters, whose concerns about AI malpractice must be considered; and the broader public, whose trust in automated systems could be affected, but the trade-off of potentially eroding trust is justified by the imperative to prevent an avoidable death.
