Patient comfort with AI varies by level of provider involvement, Gallup finds 

Fifty-six percent of U.S. adults who visited a primary care provider in the past year are comfortable with artificial intelligence making diagnosis or treatment decisions, as long as their provider can change or override the decisions, according to a Gallup survey. Designed to assess patient comfort with AI use in care, the survey also found 38% of patients are comfortable when AI assists and their provider makes the decision. Only 9% of patients are comfortable with AI making treatment decisions without provider review, according to the survey. Gallup conducted the probability-based web survey of 5,330 U.S. adults from Aug. 12-24. (AHA News article, 11/10/26)
