Public perspectives on artificial intelligence in healthcare in the USA: a cross-sectional survey
Objective To evaluate public perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare in the USA and assess variation in trust, comfort and perceived fairness across demographic groups. Methods and analysis This cross-sectional survey of US adults was conducted between 21 November and 4 December 2025, via YouGov, a private public opinion research firm, using a non-probability-based online panel. The sample included 500 general population respondents and an oversample of 750 adults aged 60+. Survey weights were…
Only about a quarter of weighted US respondents felt comfortable with their provider using AI, and most preferred a provider over a chatbot for explaining care plans, which suggests deployment is outpacing public trust.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1843 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
