Abstract: – Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare sector by providing unmatched improvements in diagnosis, patient care, and service administration. Healthcare could be completely transformed by artificial intelligence, but doing so would require a comprehensive approach. In order to facilitate , transition to the future of AI-enhanced healthcare, the study aims to identify knowledge and readiness gaps and provide healthcare providers with the skills and confidence they need to successfully integrate AI technologies into their clinical workflows. Methodology: The study was a cross sectional study conducted among healthcare professionals and students from June 2023 – June 2024 across Tamil Nadu. Sample of 444 was used for analysis. The Shinners Artificial Intelligence Perception (SHAIP) tool designed in Qualtrics online platform is used for data collection after getting consent. Results: The complete data of 444 is taken for analysis. In factor analysis, out of ten items two items were generated and it is closer to one indicating the importance of the factors in finding the perception of impact of AI on HCP’s role. Two predictive variables were shown to be significant (improve population health outcomes (0.025), ethical framework in place for the use of AI (0.033), all of the models showed significance levels of p < 0.05. Conclusion: The results highlight the need for improved AI training, transparent explanations of AI's benefits, and a well-rounded strategy to deal with the difficulties of using AI in healthcare, especially with regard to liability, equity, and transparency.
