Comparing AI-Assisted Problem-Solving Ability With Internet Search Engine and e-Books in Medical Students With Variable Prior Subject Knowledge: Cross-Sectional Study

AI-LLM GPTs can significantly enhance problem-solving performance in MCQ-based assessments, particularly for students with limited prior knowledge, even allowing them to outperform knowledgeable peers using traditional digital resources. This underscores the potential of AI to transform learning support in medical education, although its impact on deep learning and critical thinking requires further investigation.

Abstract

AI-LLM GPTs can significantly enhance problem-solving performance in MCQ-based assessments, particularly for students with limited prior knowledge, even allowing them to outperform knowledgeable peers using traditional digital resources. This underscores the potential of AI to transform learning support in medical education, although its impact on deep learning and critical thinking requires further investigation.
