Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Ready for Primetime?

Physician sentiment for AI is most positive for applications in administrative tasks and record keeping

While a common perception is that younger individuals are more receptive to technology, a recent survey found doctors between ages 44 and 64 were more enthusiastic.
Eighty-eight percent of physicians surveyed said it was likely that patients will get misinformation by using generative AI, and 9 in 10 are concerned patients could side with AI-generated information over their doctor's recommendations.
Currently, most AI applications are used for researching conditions, electronic health records, office administrative tasks, and patient scheduling.
