Abstract

Although most physicians are interested in the use of augmented or artificial intelligence (AI) in health care, only 38% are using AI in their practices.1 Initial results from AI integrated organizations show that AI scribe programs significantly decrease electronic health record workload, and as physician burnout rates remain high, there is greater interest in AI tools.2,3 The cautious approach to AI by physicians is due in part to the absence of necessary oversight and a limited regulatory framework.4 As AI changes health care delivery, primary care must be at the forefront to shape practice transformation.5.
