Artificial intelligence in current undergraduate medical education

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly growing phenomenon poised to instigate large-scale changes in medicine. With emerging innovations in artificial intelligence poised to impact medical practice substantially, interest in training current and future physicians about the technology is growing. Alongside comes the question of what medical students should be taught. While competencies for the clinical usage of Artificial intelligence are broadly similar to those for any other novel technology, they are critical to concerns regarding ethical aspects, health equity, and data security.
