Only 3% of Americans accept AI-only diagnosis, Pew survey finds
PAstynome · x · 2026-11-15
A new Pew Research Center survey shows deep public reluctance toward AI in medical decisions: 60% are uncomfortable with doctors using AI for diagnosis and treatment, 46% reject AI deciding insurance claims (only 5% would allow it alone), and just 3% accept AI-only diagnosis while 47% accept it with a human making the final call. Commenters note medical-device AI revenue growth remains surprisingly low — even Intuitive positions its robots as augmenting doctors, not replacing them.
