“…There is no universal definition for artificial intelligence (AI) [ 1 ]. AI has been defined in the literature as the branch of applied computer sciences in which algorithms are designed and are intended to perform different tasks while mimicking human intelligence [ 2 ]. It has been further defined as technologies that not only mimic human intelligence but can surpass them [ 3 ].…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), which was not previously anticipated; this is an unforeseen development. The use of AI in health care settings is increasing, as it proves to be a promising tool for transforming health care systems, improving operational and business processes, and efficiently simplifying health care tasks for family physicians and health care administrators. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the perspective of family physicians on AI and its impact on their job roles. Objective This study aims to determine the impact of AI on the management and practices of Qatar’s Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) in improving health care tasks and service delivery. Furthermore, it seeks to evaluate the impact of AI on family physicians’ job roles, including associated risks and ethical ramifications from their perspective. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey and sent a web-based questionnaire survey link to 724 practicing family physicians at the PHCC. In total, we received 102 eligible responses. Results Of the 102 respondents, 72 (70.6%) were men and 94 (92.2%) were aged between 35 and 54 years. In addition, 58 (56.9%) of the 102 respondents were consultants. The overall awareness of AI was 80 (78.4%) out of 102, with no difference between gender (P=.06) and age groups (P=.12). AI is perceived to play a positive role in improving health care practices at PHCC (P<.001), managing health care tasks (P<.001), and positively impacting health care service delivery (P<.001). Family physicians also perceived that their clinical, administrative, and opportunistic health care management roles were positively influenced by AI (P<.001). Furthermore, perceptions of family physicians indicate that AI improves operational and human resource management (P<.001), does not undermine patient-physician relationships (P<.001), and is not considered superior to human physicians in the clinical judgment process (P<.001). However, its inclusion is believed to decrease patient satisfaction (P<.001). AI decision-making and accountability were recognized as ethical risks, along with data protection and confidentiality. The optimism regarding using AI for future medical decisions was low among family physicians. Conclusions This study indicated a positive perception among family physicians regarding AI integration into primary care settings. AI demonstrates significant potential for enhancing health care task management and overall service delivery at the PHCC. It augments family physicians’ roles without replacing them and proves beneficial for operational efficiency, human resource management, and public health during pandemics. While the implementation of AI is anticipated to bring benefits, the careful consideration of ethical, privacy, confidentiality, and patient-centric concerns is essential. These insights provide valuable guidance for the strategic integration of AI into health care systems, with a focus on maintaining high-quality patient care and addressing the multifaceted challenges that arise during this transformative process.

BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence has proliferated extremely fast in healthcare following the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which was not expected previously. Artificial intelligence (AI) is promising to transform healthcare systems by improving their operational and business processes by efficiently simplifying healthcare tasks for family physicians and healthcare administrators. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the role of artificial intelligence in the management and practices of Qatar's Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC)in terms of improving healthcare tasks and healthcare service delivery and to evaluate AI ethical issues from the perspective of family physicians. METHODS A cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey link was sent to 724 practising family physicians at Primary Healthcare Corporation, Qatar. RESULTS About (70.6%) of respondents were males, and (92.2%) belonged to those aged between 35 and 54 years. About (56.9%) were consultants. The overall awareness of AI was (77.6%), with no difference between gender (P =.479) and age groups (P =.289). AI is likely to play a positive role in improving healthcare practice at PHCC (P < .001), managing healthcare tasks (P <.001), and AI positively impacts healthcare service delivery (P < .001). Family physicians' clinical, administrative, and opportunistic healthcare management roles are positively impacted by artificial intelligence (P < .001). Artificial intelligence improves operational and human resource management (P < .001), does not subvert patient-physician relationships (P < .001), and is superior to human physicians in the judgment process (P < .001). However, including it decreases patient satisfaction (P < .001). AI decision-making and accountability were recognized as ethical risks, along with data protection and confidentiality. Optimism about using AI for future medical decisions was low among family physicians. CONCLUSIONS AI is a very beneficial tool for primary healthcare. It is promising to improve human resource management, operational process and positively impact job roles of primary care physicians thus augmenting their roles instead of replacing them. However, its implementation should be after meticulous review considering its data privacy/confidentiality and patient satisfaction reductions risks along with AI decision making ethical challenges.
