Artificial intelligence and the future of psychiatry: Insights from a global physician survey
作者:
Highlights:
• Mental illness is a leading public health challenge and there exist large diagnostic and care gaps.
• We measured opinions of physicians from 22 countries to see whether AI/ML could replace the average doctor on key psychiatric tasks.
• Only 3.8 % of respondents felt future technology would make their jobs obsolete.
• Only 17 % felt that future AI/ML could replace a human clinician for providing empathetic care.
• Our findings provide compelling insights into how psychiatrists think about AI/ML.
