Survey: Patient comfort with AI varies by level of provider involvement

A Gallup survey published Nov. 9 on patient comfort with artificial intelligence in care found that 56% of U.S. adults who visited a primary care provider in the past year are comfortable with AI making diagnosis or treatment decisions, as long as they can be changed or overridden by their provider. The survey found that 38% of patients are comfortable when AI assists and their provider makes the decision. Results showed that 9% of patients are comfortable with AI making treatment decisions without provider review.
