Perception of Medical Undergraduates on Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: Qualitative Exploration
Participants recognized several benefits of AI-assisted learning but also expressed concerns and limitations requiring further studies for effective integration of AI into medical education. They expressed openness and enthusiasm for using AI while demonstrating confusion and reluctance due to the perspectives and stance of educators. We recommend educating both the educators and learners on the ethical use of AI, enabling a formal integration of AI tools into medical curricula.
