Artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications are among the most discussed modern technologies today. Despite the rapidly expanding use of AI in medicine, and specifically in dermatology, only a few studies have studied the attitude of physicians toward AI.
To recognize the attitudes towards AI among dermatologists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional survey was done among dermatologists in Saudi Arabia. Questionnaires were distributed through several online channels.
Overall, 103 dermatologists filled out the survey. The majority saw very strong or strong potential for AI in the automated detection of skin diseases based on dermatological clinical images (50.9%), dermoscopic images (66.6%) and within dermatopathology (66.6%). In regard to results of attitudes towards AI, 56.6% and 52. 8% agreed that AI will revolutionize medicine and dermatology, respectively. However, many of the respondents disagreed that AI will replace physicians (41.5%) and human dermatologists (39.6%) in the future. Age did not impact the overall attitude of dermatologists.
Dermatologists in Saudi Arabia showed an optimistic attitude towards AI in dermatology and medicine. However, dermatologists believe that AI will not replace humans in the future.
人工智能(AI)及其应用是当今讨论最多的现代技术之一。尽管人工智能在医学领域,尤其是皮肤科的应用迅速扩大,但只有少数研究探讨了医生对人工智能的态度。
了解沙特阿拉伯王国皮肤科医生对人工智能的态度。
对沙特阿拉伯的皮肤科医生进行了一项横断面调查。问卷通过多个在线渠道分发。
总体而言,103名皮肤科医生填写了调查问卷。大多数人认为人工智能在基于皮肤科临床图像(50.9%)、皮肤镜图像(66.6%)和皮肤病理学(66.6%)自动检测皮肤疾病方面具有非常强大或强大的潜力。关于对人工智能态度的结果,分别有56.6%和52.8%的人同意人工智能将给医学和皮肤科带来变革。然而,许多受访者不同意人工智能未来会取代医生(41.5%)和皮肤科医生(39.6%)。年龄并未影响皮肤科医生的总体态度。
