Journal: Journal of medical Internet research
Published Date: Aug 26, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform clinical practice and diagnostics. Amid workforce shortages, AI-based applications assist in decision-making, patient monitoring, and administrative tasks. However, despite enthusiasm, integration into clinical practice remains limited because of concerns about usability, ethical implications, and physicians' acceptance. Understanding physicians' attitudes and engaging them in AI development may foster acceptance and adoption.
