Over a quarter of doctors (29%) have used some form of artificial intelligence in their practice over the past year, with more than half (52%) optimistic about its use in healthcare, according to a new survey released Wednesday by [The Alan Turing Institute.](https://www.turing.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2024-10/public%5Fservices%5Fgmc%5Freport%5Fv3.pdf?ref=ai-360.online)

The comprehensive study of 929 doctors registered in the UK reveals that while those using AI tools are generally confident with the systems, most doctors indicated they are not making any use of AI in their work. Furthermore, 54% of respondents believe the medical profession isn't fully exploring AI's potential opportunities.

The survey identified several key challenges, including that around a third of doctors (32%) felt they didn't fully understand AI-related risks in healthcare. Nearly 70% reported they had not received adequate training to understand their professional responsibilities when using AI systems.

Variations in AI adoption across medical specialtieswere also revealed, with doctors working in medicine and radiology being more likely to report using AI systems, compared to other specialty groups.
