Americans are generally open to AI handling administrative and medical tasks, but they largely don’t want AI operating without human oversight. About half (47%) say AI will make the relationship between patients and their doctors worse, compared with 10% who say it will make it better.
The problem
In a Pew Research Center survey of 3,488 US adults, 60% said they would be uncomfortable with AI used for diagnoses and treatment in their own care, double the 30% who would be comfortable, and 51% said AI would worsen the security of health data.
What this doesn’t fix
The findings reflect what Americans say they expect and feel about AI in healthcare, not measured outcomes, and between 22% and 32% were unsure how AI would affect each dimension asked about.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2636 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
