Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is rapidly expanding, transforming areas such as diagnostics, drug discovery, and patient monitoring. Despite these advances, public perceptions of AI in healthcare, particularly in Canada, remain underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between Canadians' knowledge, comfort, and trust in AI, focusing on key sociodemographic factors like age, gender, education, and income.
