摘要

Artificial intelligence in psychiatry is a general term that means the use of computer techniques and algorithms to diagnose, prevent, and treat mental illnesses. Although there has been a noticeable increase in the use of artificial intelligence over the last few years, its role in psychiatric practice in Poland is not yet established. The aim of this work is to assess the current use of AI in psychiatric practice in Poland and the possible willingness to implement it and to indicate whether there are differences between genders. It is also crucial to indicate opinions on ethical issues related to the use of AI in psychiatric practice, taking into account gender, due to the noticeable trend of feminization of medical professions in Poland. A paper survey was distributed during a psychiatric conference. In total, 135 people (psychiatrists, interns, doctors undergoing specialization, and psychologists) took part in the study. A total of 85.92% of the respondents were doctors, of which 60.74% were psychiatrists. The respondents were asked questions about the use of AI in working with patients and in research. Overall, 62.96% of respondents were women, 35.56% were men, and 1.48% were declared as “others”. A total of 40.74% of respondents were aged 30–40 and had professional experience of no longer than 10 years (49.63%). The majority of respondents indicated that they do not currently use AI in the diagnostic process of patients, but are open to this possibility (76.3%), and this answer was regardless of gender. Women responded much more often that additional patient consent is always required for the use of their data for AI purposes (women 42.86%, men 26%), while 40% of men did not notice such a need at all, which was statistically significant (Chi-square, p < 0.005). In Poland, AI is not yet widely used in psychiatric practice, but our study shows a significant willingness to implement such solutions with a similar frequency, regardless of the activity for which AI is to be used. Ethical issues are debatable, with a noticeable difference in opinions depending on gender. Further research is needed to clarify the possibilities of implementing AI systems in psychiatric practice in Poland.
