Physician readiness for AI: High enthusiasm but low knowledge in Saudi survey

In a survey of 435 physicians, 83.7% had positive attitudes toward AI in clinical screening/diagnosis, but only 50.3% demonstrated good knowledge. Radiology (75.9%) was seen as the highest-impact area. Top barriers: insufficient training (58.9%), lack of trust (53.8%).

• Non-Saudi physicians were more likely to have positive attitudes (adjusted OR 1.75, P=.047).
• The multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, including physicians and interns from governmental and private hospitals.
