General Practitioners' Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Systems: Interview Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

General practitioners (GPs) care for a large number of patients with various diseases in very short timeframes under high uncertainty. Thus, systems enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) are promising and time-saving solutions that may increase the quality of care.
