Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare is probably the last frontier that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not conquered. Cultural factors significantly impact the way healthcare is accessed and delivered. Affordability, educational and social status, physician training, lack of physician talent in difficult to serve areas all contribute to this. Cultural perspectives of clinicians and clinical habits during the human-computer interaction and inherent suspicion of lack of human to human interaction contribute to perceptions of inhibition in the adoption of AI in routine medical practice. In this paper we examine whether measurable cultural dimensions would impact the adoption of AI in routine clinical practice.
