Abstract
This study evaluated physicians' attitudes towards medical AI across three Taiwanese hospitals, focusing on constructs of trust, resistance, job insecurity, and adoption willingness, with a survey based on the Dual-factor Model yielding 282 responses and a 94% response rate. Results showed positive trust in AI, low resistance and job insecurity concerns, and a high willingness to adopt AI, indicating a favorable view of AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. Key adoption factors were identified as regulatory standards, accuracy, workflow integration, and result clarity, providing valuable insights for future AI development in medicine.
