Introduction

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has revolutionized various sectors, including healthcare, education, and business. Among these, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has garnered significant attention due to its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline operations, and enhance patient outcomes (Johnson et al., 2020). This research focuses on understanding how AI-driven diagnostic tools influence clinician decision-making processes. As healthcare systems worldwide grapple with increasing patient loads and resource limitations, AI offers promising solutions to augment clinical judgment and reduce diagnostic errors (Smith & Lee, 2019). Despite the growing adoption, there remains a critical need to explore how clinicians perceive and interact with these AI tools to ensure their effective integration into routine practice.

Problem Statement and Research Question

The primary problem addressed in this study is the uncertainty surrounding the acceptance and effective utilization of AI diagnostic tools by clinicians. While technological advancements offer significant benefits, resistance from practitioners and concerns about trust and reliability hinder widespread adoption (Brown & Patel, 2021). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing clinician trust and acceptance of AI tools and identify barriers to adoption. Specifically, the research will answer: (1) What are the perceptions of clinicians regarding AI diagnostic tools? (2) What factors influence their trust and willingness to use these tools? and (3) How can AI systems be designed to better align with clinician needs and improve adoption rates?

Literature Review

Previous research highlights both the potential and challenges associated with AI integration into healthcare. For instance, Johnson et al. (2020) demonstrated that AI algorithms could outperform traditional diagnostic methods in specific cases; however, their success heavily depended on user trust and interpretability. Similarly, Lee and colleagues (2018) emphasized that clinician acceptance hinges on the perceived accuracy, usability, and transparency of AI systems. Nevertheless, some studies identify skepticism among healthcare providers as a barrier, often related to concerns about automation bias, data privacy, and ethical issues (Miller & Adams, 2019). These insights underscore the importance of fostering trust through transparent algorithms and targeted training programs.

Theories such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) have been widely used to understand technology adoption behaviors (Davis, 1989). According to TAM, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are key determinants of intention to utilize new technologies. Recent studies have extended this model to healthcare settings, incorporating constructs like trust and perceived risk (Al-Hujran et al., 2020). Applying TAM or its extensions can help identify specific behavioral factors influencing clinicians’ decisions regarding AI adoption. Moreover, empirical evidence suggests that improving system transparency, providing comprehensive training, and demonstrating tangible benefits can significantly enhance acceptance (Huang et al., 2021).

Overall, existing literature establishes that trust, usability, and ethical considerations are critical to successful AI integration. However, gaps remain in understanding the specific perceptions of clinicians and how system design modifications can address their concerns. My research builds on previous findings by focusing on perceptual and behavioral factors influencing clinician acceptance of AI diagnostic tools in real-world clinical settings. The study aims to contribute insights that can guide developers, policymakers, and healthcare providers in designing and implementing AI systems effectively.

Current Study

This study seeks to explore clinicians’ perceptions, trust, and behavioral intentions toward AI diagnostic tools. The specific research questions are numbered as follows:

  1. What are clinicians' perceptions of the accuracy and reliability of AI diagnostic tools?
  2. What factors influence their trust in these tools?
  3. How do perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness impact their willingness to adopt AI technologies?

Based on these questions, the hypotheses are formulated:

H1: Clinicians’ perceived accuracy of AI tools positively influences their trust in these systems.

H2: Perceived ease of use positively affects clinicians’ willingness to adopt AI diagnostic tools.

H3: Trust in AI systems mediates the relationship between perceived accuracy and adoption intention.

In conclusion, understanding clinicians' perceptions and behavioral determinants is essential for successful AI integration into healthcare. This research aims to provide actionable insights that can facilitate the development of user-centric AI systems, ultimately enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient care outcomes.
