      abstract     = {ObjectiveThe attitudes about the usage of artificial
                      intelligence in healthcare are controversial. Unlike the
                      perception of healthcare professionals, the attitudes of
                      patients and their companions have been of less interest so
                      far. In this study, we aimed to investigate the perception
                      of artificial intelligence in healthcare among this highly
                      relevant group along with the influence of digital affinity
                      and sociodemographic factors.MethodsWe conducted a
                      cross-sectional study using a paper-based questionnaire with
                      patients and their companions at a German tertiary referral
                      hospital from December 2019 to February 2020. The
                      questionnaire consisted of three sections examining (a) the
                      respondents’ technical affinity, (b) their perception of
                      different aspects of artificial intelligence in healthcare
                      and (c) sociodemographic characteristics.ResultsFrom a total
                      of 452 participants, more than $90\%$ already read or heard
                      about artificial intelligence, but only $24\%$ reported good
                      or expert knowledge. Asked on their general perception,
                      $53.18\%$ of the respondents rated the use of artificial
                      intelligence in medicine as positive or very positive, but
                      only $4.77\%$ negative or very negative. The respondents
                      denied concerns about artificial intelligence, but strongly
                      agreed that artificial intelligence must be controlled by a
                      physician. Older patients, women, persons with lower
                      education and technical affinity were more cautious on the
                      healthcare-related artificial intelligence
                      usage.ConclusionsGerman patients and their companions are
                      open towards the usage of artificial intelligence in
                      healthcare. Although showing only a mediocre knowledge about
                      artificial intelligence, a majority rated artificial
                      intelligence in healthcare as positive. Particularly,
                      patients insist that a physician supervises the artificial
                      intelligence and keeps ultimate responsibility for diagnosis
                      and therapy.},
