Introduction: As Saudi Arabia incorporates AI into healthcare under Vision 2030, understanding how healthcare and legal professionals perceive AI’s impact on medical malpractice is essential. Rising malpractice claims and limited legal precedent on AI heighten this need. This study assessed awareness, perceptions, and readiness in both sectors.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was reported in 2024 among healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, risk managers) and legal professionals (attorneys, judges). A structured questionnaire evaluated AI knowledge, perceived impact on malpractice and patient safety, and readiness to engage with AI in practice or litigation. Responses were captured using Likert scales, and demographic/professional data were recorded. Group comparisons used chi-square and t-tests/Mann-Whitney U; logistic regression identified factors linked to high AI readiness. Ethical approval (KFU-IRB-2024-002) was obtained; participation was voluntary and anonymized.
Result: The manuscript reports 230 healthcare and 90 legal respondents and differences in reported AI awareness, exposure, views and readiness. Several abstract percentages differ from Results and tables, group questions may not be equivalent, and regression output is absent. Original item-level counts, scoring and model results are required before reliable estimates can be reported.
Conclusion: The survey describes responses from participating healthcare and legal professionals. Comparisons require item-level denominators and consistent question wording. The recruitment design limits inference to the responding sample. The survey reports differing perspectives among these respondents. The nonprobability sample, differing questions and unavailable data limit generalization and do not establish whether training changes readiness or AI changes safety or liability.
