"Artificial intelligence" (AI) is often referred to as "augmented human intelligence" (AHI). The latter term implies that computers support-rather than replace-human decision-making. It is unclear whether the terminology used affects attitudes and perceptions in practice.
In the context of a quality improvement project implementing AI/AHI-based decision support in a regional health system, we surveyed staff's attitudes about AI/AHI, randomizing question prompts to refer to either AI or AHI.
Ninety-three staff completed surveys. With a power of 0.95 to detect a difference larger than 0.8 points on a 5-point scale, we did not detect a significant difference in responses to six questions regarding attitudes when respondents were alternatively asked about AI versus AHI (mean difference range: 0.04-0.22 points; p > 0.05).
Although findings may be setting-specific, we observed that use of the terms "AI" and "AHI" in a survey on attitudes of clinical staff elicited similar responses.
“人工智能”（AI）常被称为“增强型人类智能”（AHI）。后一种术语意味着计算机支持——而非替代——人类决策。目前尚不清楚在实践中使用的术语是否会影响态度和看法。
在一个质量改进项目中，我们在区域卫生系统中实施了基于 AI/AHI 的决策支持，调查了员工对 AI/AHI 的态度，并随机提示使用 AI 或 AHI 来指代。
93 名员工完成了调查。在检测 5 分制上差异大于 0.8 分的效力为 0.95 的情况下，当被问及 AI 与 AHI 时，我们没有发现六个关于态度的问题的回答有显著差异（平均差异范围：0.04-0.22 分；p＞0.05）。
尽管研究结果可能具有特定于环境的特点，但我们观察到，在对临床工作人员的态度进行调查时，使用“AI”和“AHI”这两个术语会引起类似的反应。
