ATTITUDE OF MILLENNIALS AND GENERATION Z TOWARDS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SURGERY

Because of its increasing ability to turn ambiguity and complexity in data into actionable-though imperfect-clinical choices or suggestions, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change health care practices. Trust is the only mechanism that influences physicians use and adoption of AI in the growing interaction between humans and AI. Trust is a psychological process that enables people to deal with ambiguity in what they know and do not know. The purpose of this online survey was to determine the relationship between age groups, familiarity, and trustworthiness present towards AI through the question of whether particular participants would prefer a human or an AI surgeon if they had to undergo a surgery.The results showed that age groups and trustworthiness are not correlated, due to a variety of factors, and,also, familiarity is not correlated with age group.
