Acceptance of AI-generated health information varied widely. Globally, 58.3% of respondents said they would be likely to accept it, but the range was substantial: above 75% in China, India, Pakistan, and Indonesia, and below 50% in Canada, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, France, the UK, Australia, Belgium, Russia, Sweden, and Japan. Younger adults and those with post-secondary education were more receptive than older respondents.
