During an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diabetic retinopathy screening event, we performed a survey on patients´ perceptions on AI. Respondents were individuals with diabetes, mostly followed in primary healthcare with a low education level. While 49.6% of participants said they knew what AI was, only 14% reported good or expert knowledge of AI. The vast majority reported positive feelings towards AI in healthcare. We highlight the importance of understanding patients´ views regarding AI in health in a real-life situation and emphasize the importance of digital education.
