Indecision on the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare—A qualitative study of patient perspectives on trust, responsibility and self-determination using AI-CDSS
The findings demonstrate that patients perceive the AI-CDSS implementation as a challenge both for their own decision-making and for the future doctor-patient relationship. This is further indicated by the shifts of trust, responsibility, and self-determination as influencing decision-making factors. Concurrently, the findings show that the patients' perspective is profoundly influenced by the individuals' comprehension of the functionality of AI-CDSS. It is therefore of importance to provide patients and healthcare professionals with information to prevent indecision.
