A recent study conducted in the UK has uncovered that approximately 30% of general practitioners (GPs) have integrated AI tools, exemplified by ChatGPT, into their patient consultations. These tools are predominantly utilized for crafting concise consultation summaries, facilitating diagnosis, and streamlining administrative duties. Nevertheless, physicians, in general, harbor apprehensions regarding the potential for misdiagnosis and the legal ramifications tied to AI usage. The survey findings further reveal that male doctors and those practicing in economically affluent regions exhibit a higher propensity to adopt such technologies. Additionally, it's noteworthy that the majority of doctors have not received professional training in using these AI tools. This underscores the pressing need to tackle the issue of insufficient regulation in this domain.
