Introduction:

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology is in early stages and could be influenced by the perception of its users.

Objectives:

To assess the degree of knowledge, interest, and expectations about AI in the Argentine radiological community.

Method:

Between September and November 2022, an online survey about knowledge, attitude and expectations of AI was distributed.

Results:

Of a total of 161 respondents, the majority were women (55.3%), had between 31 and 40 years old (43.4%), were staff physicians (42%), worked in the private sector (55.6%) and were located in CABA/Buenos Aires (59%). 52.5% had not used AI software and 87.7% had not taken any previous AI courses. 88.2% were interested in training in this field. Almost all agreed that AI would modify their daily work in the next 10 years (87.6%), although it would not replace them (56.8%), nor would they change their careers (69.8%).

Conclusions:

Although the degree of knowledge about AI in the Argentine radiological community is moderate, we found high interest and expectations, and low level of fear or rejection. Argentine radiological societies should develop AI training courses.
