Abstract

With artificial intelligence seeing such booming success in fields such as art, science and commerce, the next target seems to be the healthcare industry. AI firms are investing millions of dollars to develop artificial intelligence capable of eliminating the need to seek advice from a physical doctor. However, human physicians are able to consider factors beyond the medical scope, while AI may let these contextual nuances slip through the cracks. In the end, how the public views artificial intelligence and its utilisation in healthcare will determine if it can be implemented in the medical field. The primary aim of this research was to gather, assess and evaluate the viewpoints, beliefs, perspectives and worries of the general population regarding the utilisation of artificial intelligence for delivering customised medical recommendations and serving as a support or potential replacement for traditional medical treatment by a human doctor. The results of the study indicated that while the public supports the use of AI in healthcare due to its advanced technology and precision, they prefer AI to handle only specific tasks. People still value the human element in their healthcare and desire personal interaction in their treatment.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Human Doctors, Differential Treatment, Personalized Medical Diagnosis.
