AI Can Outperform Doctors. So Why Don't Patients Trust It?

Our recent research indicates that patients are reluctant to use health care provided by medical artificial intelligence even when it outperforms human doctors. Because patients believe that their medical needs are unique and cannot be adequately addressed by algorithms. To realize the many advantages and cost savings that medical AI promises, care providers must find ways to overcome these misgivings. Medical artificial intelligence (AI) can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective care at scale. IBM's Watson diagnoses heart disease better than cardiologists do.
