Patients trust and are more likely to seek help from doctors explicitly avoiding AI-assisted diagnosis rather than those using extensive or moderate AI, highlighting a strong aversion to AI in healthcare settings.
Methods: A randomized, web-based 4-group survey experiment was conducted with controls for sociodemographic factors and analysis using regression, mediation, and moderation techniques.
Key Findings: Trust in and intention to seek medical help from health care professionals using AI-assisted diagnosis versus those avoiding AI, and the influence of demographic, social, and experiential factors.
