Artificial intelligence is gaining acceptance in the German healthcare system
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly establishing itself in practices and clinics, where it supports diagnoses and therapies. A representative survey by the digital association Bitkom shows: 74 percent consider them useful for obtaining a second opinion, 72 percent for the preparation of diagnoses and therapy recommendations. The early detection of diseases such as cancer (64 percent) and the analysis of X-rays or CT images (59 percent) are also considered useful by many. In addition to these clinical applications, 56 percent of respondents appreciate AI for organizational tasks in practices, such as phone calls or appointments. Chatbots for medical questions are seen as helpful by 43 percent. Only 15 percent cannot imagine a meaningful use of AI in healthcare.
Trotz der weit überwiegend positiven Einschätzung hegen viele Menschen auch Bedenken beim Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz im Gesundheitswesen. Die größten Sorgen betreffen einen möglichen Datenmissbrauch (71 Prozent) sowie eine geringere menschliche Zuwendung in der Behandlung (69 Prozent). Über die Hälfte der Befragten (56 Prozent) fürchtet Fehlentscheidungen durch KI. 21 Prozent sorgen sich, dass Entscheidungen der KI für Patientinnen und Patienten nicht nachvollziehbar sein könnten. 9 Prozent der Befragten geben an, keine Bedenken zu haben.
