Examining Physicians' Intentions to Use AI: The Roles of Accountability, Necessity, and Usefulness

This study explores the under-researched area of how perceived necessity and accountability influence physicians' intention to use AI in healthcare. Conducted across three general hospitals in Taiwan, the research analyzed 398 valid responses from physicians through PLS-SEM. While previous studies often focus on perceived usefulness, our findings reveal that perceived necessity and accountability are also significant factors influencing Physicians' Intentions to Use AI, a novel contribution to the literature on AI adoption in healthcare. These insights offer valuable implications for the development and promotion of AI tools that align with physicians' practical needs and ethical concerns, ultimately enhancing AI integration in clinical settings.
