MODERATORS
 
  • The preference for human doctors over AI is strong, especially for visits involving psychiatry and therapy.
  • People are less likely to trust AI with personal clinical information, especially regarding mental health.
  • The presence of AI as "the artificial third" impacts the patient-doctor and client-therapist relationship.
