N2  -  Summary. This national cross-sectional survey (n=287) explored the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and telemedicine among Italian primary care physicians. Despite near-universal digital awareness (92.3%), structural telemedicine use remains limited (26.5%), while generative AI (ChatGPT) has been spontaneously adopted by 51.2% of respondents, primarily to manage administrative burden. Binary logistic regression identified younger age and active scientific engagement as independent predictors of ChatGPT adoption. These findings suggest that the spontaneous adoption of generative AI currently outpaces institutional governance, highlighting the need for targeted training and GDPR-compliant infrastructures within the DM77/2022 reform framework.
