Attitudes and Perceptions of Generative Artificial Intelligence Chatbots in the Scientific Process of Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine Research: A Large-Scale, International Cross-Sectional Survey

Abstract: Background Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots have shown utility in assisting with various research tasks. Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) is a patient-centric approach that emphasizes holistic well-being. The integration of TCIM and GenAI presents numerous key opportunities. However, TCIM researchers' attitudes toward GenAI tools remain less understood. This large-scale, international cross-sectional survey aimed to elucidate the attitudes and perceptions of TCIM res…
