Survey Finds Patients Distrust Physicians Who Use AI, Despite Growing Adoption in Radiology

A new survey reveals patients see doctors who use AI as less competent, despite rapid AI adoption in radiology.
Key Details
- 1Survey data indicates patients associate the use of AI by physicians with lower perceived competence.
- 2Radiology is leading in AI adoption, with the FDA approving over 1,000 medical AI tools—873 specifically for radiology since January 1.
- 3AI is recognized among providers as beneficial for workflow, accuracy, and administrative tasks.
- 4Research previously focused on attitudes toward AI tools, but this study targets perceptions of the physicians themselves.
Why It Matters
Understanding patient trust is crucial as radiology becomes more reliant on AI. These findings highlight the importance of transparency and communication in ensuring AI's acceptance within clinical workflows.
