摘　　要：The conversation about consciousness of artificial intelligence(AI)is an ongoing topic since 1950s.Despite the numerous applications of AI identified in healthcare and primary healthcare,little is known about how a conscious AI would reshape its use in this domain.While there is a wide range of ideas as to whether AI can or cannot possess consciousness,a prevailing theme in all arguments is uncertainty.Given this uncertainty and the high stakes associated with the use of AI in primary healthcare,it is imperative to be prepared for all scenarios including conscious AI systems being used for medical diagnosis,shared decision-making and resource management in the future.This commentary serves as an overview of some of the pertinent evidence supporting the use of AI in primary healthcare and proposes ideas as to how consciousnesses of AI can support or further complicate these applications.Given the scarcity of evidence on the association between consciousness of AI and its current state of use in primary healthcare,our commentary identifies some directions for future research in this area including assessing patients’,healthcare workers’and policy-makers’attitudes towards consciousness of AI systems in primary healthcare settings.
