This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and usefulness of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a clinical decision-support tool for physicians working in a medical intensive care unit. Participating physicians were assigned by work period to either use a generative AI system in addition to usual clinical information resources or to use usual resources without generative AI. The assigned condition was then switched so that participants experienced both approaches. During the AI-assisted periods, physicians used de-identified clinical information and considered the AI-generated responses as reference information. All final clinical decisions remained the responsibility of the treating physicians. The study assessed acceptability, usability, satisfaction, perceived decision support, workload, confidence, and learning experience through repeated questionnaires.
