Survey of Physician Attitudes on Artificial Intelligence

In a US and Canada online survey of 1,258 physicians, only 130 completed responses (10%), and about half reported no formal AI training, despite expecting diagnostic and administrative help.

• Why it matters: Physicians’ views shape whether AI tools are adopted safely, yet many lack formal preparation and express concerns about errors, misinformation, and bias.
• What they did: The study used a 34-question cross-sectional survey (Dec 2023–Feb 2026) covering demographics, training, clinical benefits and concerns, AI prediction tools, and generative AI.
• The result: 60%–70% expected AI to provide diagnostic aid or treatment recommendations and over 70% for administrative tasks, while more than 80% worried about errors, misinformation, or biases.
