Abstract
The growing prominence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine introduces both transformative possibilities and potential challenges. Our study focuses on the current status and perceptions of AI in Head and Neck Surgery (HNS), examining its utilization, benefits, ethical concerns, and protective measures. The study aims to illuminate the existing landscape of AI in HNS in Germany. Conducted through a questionnaire, key aspects include its current usage, potential applications (e.g., diagnosis, surgical planning), anticipated benefits (e.g., improved patient care ), and significant ethical concerns (e.g., miscalculations by AI, data privacy). The survey reveals limited AI adoption in HNS, with substantial potential for improvement. Ethical considerations, especially miscalculations by AI and data privacy, emerge as central issues. The survey emphasizes the crucial role of physician control and the need for legal oversight to address concerns related to AI integration. While AI's presence in HNS is modest, the study identifies opportunities for enhancement. Ethical guidelines and practitioner-centric control are vital for discussions surrounding AI integration. This research underscores the significance of ethical considerations and practitioner control in the context of AI in surgical practices. It highlights the demand for targeted training to empower practitioners in navigating the complexities of AI technologies in healthcare, ensuring responsible and patient-centric implementation.
