Artificial intelligence is moving fast in healthcare. According to ECRI's Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns 2026 report — one of the most widely cited safety benchmarks in the industry — roughly two-thirds of physicians now report using AI in clinical practice, up from just 38% two years ago. That's a 74% increase in a single year.
ECRI ranked the risks surrounding AI-assisted diagnosis as the #1 patient safety concern for 2026.
