Understanding the use of AI in healthcare is essential for the successful implementation of AI-driven healthcare solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate public perception of AI utilization in healthcare settings. A validated questionnaire assessed general perceptions towards AI utilization, the use of AI by physician , and the use of AI by pharmacists . The study included 770 participants. The median perception score indicated an unfavorable attitude. Participants who had lower education level and those with no employment had a significantly lower perception scores than their counterpart. Participants who reported low income and those who visited the pharmacy five to ten times on average had a higher perception than their counterparts did. The reported negative perception necessitates the implementation of education campaigns to improve AI literacy and dispel any misconceptions and concerns, particularly among individuals with low education, high income, unemployment, and frequent pharmacy visits.
了解人工智能在医疗保健中的应用对于成功实施人工智能驱动的医疗保健解决方案至关重要。本研究的目的是评估公众对医疗保健环境中人工智能应用的看法。一份经过验证的问卷评估了对人工智能应用的总体看法、医生对人工智能的使用情况以及药剂师对人工智能的使用情况。该研究包括770名参与者。感知得分中位数表明态度不佳。教育水平较低和无工作的参与者的感知得分明显低于其对应人群。报告收入低的参与者以及平均前往药房五至十次的参与者的感知得分高于其对应人群。所报告的负面看法有必要开展教育活动，以提高人工智能素养并消除任何误解和担忧，特别是在低教育程度、高收入、失业以及频繁前往药房的人群中。
