By Noah Schwartz for Becker’s Hospital Review

A survey of 2,014 adults from consulting giant Deloitte found that 53% believe generative artificial intelligence could improve access to healthcare.

Here are four takeaways from the Nov. 16 report:

1. Forty-six percent of consumers believe that generative AI could make healthcare more affordable.
   
2. Sixty-nine percent of consumers rate the information they received from generative AI as very reliable or extremely reliable.
   
3. Seventy-one percent of consumers using AI thought it could revolutionize healthcare.
   
4. Despite the openness to AI in healthcare, 4 in 5 consumers wanted their physicians to disclose that they were using AI in their healthcare.
