    Abstract

    Artificial intelligence (AI) produces positive effects on the productivity and efficiency for organizations and is widely adopted in various contexts. Although individuals’ adoption of new technology has been studied widely, very few studies has been devoted to the adoption of AI in the context of healthcare. Based on technology adoption related theories, the study explains how the proposed factors impact patients’ trust toward AI technology and in turn their adoption attention. Using 304 patients’ sample, we built the conceptual model and conclude that trust toward AI technology, perceived ease of use, relative advantage, and perceived risk in the healthcare background significantly affect AI adoption intention. Our study thus extends the understanding of AI use in the healthcare industry.
