- Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly growing area of science. People generally have varied attitudes towards innovations. This study aims to understand the public's acceptance of ChatGPT for health-related purposes. Three hypotheses were formulated: men are more likely using ChatGPT for health-related issues, higher education increases the likelihood of using ChatGPT, and there are generational differences in the acceptance of ChatGPT. To collect data a 5-question online survey was conducted (N = 200, aged 40 +). Quota sampling was used based on 2011 population census in Hungary. The survey supported the presence of gender difference, with men generally more likely to trust ChatGPT and more optimistic about its potential benefits in healthcare. However, difference was not statistically significant on this basis, the hypothesis can neither be rejected nor proven, further research is needed. Younger generations displayed more accepting attitude towards ChatGPT for health-related questions, a statistically significant (R2 = 0.85) finding supported our hypothesis. Contrary to our expectations we did not find a correlation between level of education and acceptance of ChatGPT at individual level (R2 = 0.002). When respondents were categorized into four groups based on level of education, a positive correlation emerged (R2 = 0.034). The result was not statistically significant, this can be a result of a small sample size and the uneven distribution of educational level. Further research with larger sample size is needed. For future research, we recommend repeating this survey with a larger sample size, further research should focus on developing and validating a more detailed and specific survey about ChatGPT.
