Summary
Korean doctors view artificial intelligence (AI) as a valuable tool for medical diagnosis and data analysis, despite limited familiarity. Most physicians believe AI will augment, not replace, their roles.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Physician Awareness and Attitudes
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised for extensive integration into the medical field.
- Understanding current perceptions of AI among healthcare professionals is crucial for its successful adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To gauge the awareness and understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) among Korean physicians.
- To evaluate physicians' attitudes towards the application of AI in medical practice.
Main Methods:
- An online survey was administered to 669 participants using Google Forms.
- The survey included 11 closed-ended questions covering AI recognition, attitudes, development direction, and perceived risks in medicine.
Main Results:
- While only 5.9% reported high AI familiarity, 83.4% found AI useful for analyzing clinical data in real-time.
- Disease diagnosis was identified as the most promising application (83.4% agreement).
- Concerns included AI's inability to handle unexpected situations (29.3%) and less than half agreeing AI surpasses human diagnostic capabilities (43.9%) or could replace them (35.4%).
Conclusions:
- Korean doctors and medical students exhibit positive attitudes towards AI in medicine.
- The majority of surveyed physicians do not foresee AI replacing their professional roles.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

10.5K
The confidence coefficient is also known as the confidence level or degree of confidence. It is the percent expression for the probability, 1-α, that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter assuming that the confidence interval is obtained after sufficient unbiased sampling; for example, if the CL = 90%, then in 90 out of 100 samples the interval estimate will enclose the true population parameter. Here α is the area under the curve, distributed equally under...

1.0K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

01:21Confidence Intervals
10.2K
An unbiased point estimate is often insufficient to predict a population estimate, such as population mean or population proportion. In this scenario, a confidence interval is used. A confidence interval is an estimate similar to a sample proportion. However, unlike the point estimate which is a single value, the confidence interval contains a range of values. These values have lower and upper limits, known as confidence limits, and can be designated as L1 and L2, respectively.

00:54Uncertainty: Confidence Intervals
10.5K
The confidence interval is the range of values around the mean that contains the true mean. It is expressed as a probability percentage. The interpretation of a 95% confidence interval, for instance, is that the statistician is 95% confident that the true mean falls within the interval. The upper and lower limits of this range are known as confidence limits. The confidence limits for the true mean are estimated from the sample's mean, the standard deviation, and the statistical factor...

01:19Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
9.4K
A confidence interval is a better estimate of the population than a point estimate, as it uses a range of values from a sample instead of a single value.
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
