Online survey assessing US primary care physicians' attitudes toward AI use in clinical administrative tasks.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine primary care physicians' attitudes regarding artificial intelligence (AI) use for administrative clinical tasks.

Methods

Web-based survey with US physicians in family medicine or internal medicine (N=420, response rate 5.13%). Two hypothetical AI tools for administrative clinical activities were described. We examined physicians' attitudes towards AI tools, and their associations with practice years, exposure to AI, use case and stakeholder type were evaluated using generalised estimating equations.

Results

Participants were on average 49.6 years (SD=12.5) and 56.7% men (238/420). Physicians with fewer practice years were more likely to endorse the tools' benefits (OR 1.70-1.96), the tools' benefits outweighing risks (OR 1.79-2.06) and their open
