While healthcare organizations struggle with AI adoption, physicians are already using it daily, and they're desperate for more. But there's a catch: they're terrified of who's controlling it. And if they don’t get more empowered to affect how it’s deployed, it runs the risk of burning out the workforce even further.

Physicians are using AI. They believe in it and want more of it. So why are 81% dissatisfied? Because the AI conversation in healthcare is happening without the people who actually take care of patients.

Despite physician productivity gains from AI tools, physicians will have a higher patient volume to care for with no proportional increase in compensation. The C-suite is incentivized to use AI as a cost-cutting strategy.

Litigation related to AI is inevitable—either because we use it and it is wrong, or because we didn't use it. AI companies should bear responsibility legally for patient harm related to its use…but they won't.

We will stop our own analytical thinking. Medicine is truly an art and science. Some of the best doctors are older due to experience and anecdotal care. Can AI truly unlock that art?
