Pew Research Center reports that 60% of Americans would feel uncomfortable if their own doctor used AI for diagnoses and treatment, while 30% would be comfortable.

Only 3% would accept AI diagnosing without a human involved, and 47% would accept AI diagnoses with human review. Privacy and the patient-doctor relationship draw the most pessimism, with 51% expecting AI to worsen health-data security.

The study also finds a split by income. Pew reports that 55% of upper-income adults expect AI to improve patient care, compared with 25% of lower-income adults.
