Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been extensively employed in a variety of fields including
medicine. The present study aimed to describe Saudi Arabian health-care professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and
perceptions of the future of AI. Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study that was
carried out in November 2022 and included an online survey to describe Saudi Arabian health-care professionals’
knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the future of AI. Results: The survey was filled out by 174 health-care
workers. About 87.9% of health-care professionals said they are familiar with AI and its uses. About 89.7% said
that they would like to use a software/program that can be helpful in disease diagnosis and treatment. More than
97% of health-care workers agreed that AI has a future in the medical field and 93.1% of them agreed that AI will
help them in making decisions. Conclusion: Health-care professionals are concerned about the possible effects
of its widespread application in clinical practice. Attending lectures, conferences, and workshops is essential for
