Attitudes, knowledge, opinions, and expectations of medical students towards medical artificial intelligence solutions: a cross-sectional survey study

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are widely used in everyday applications worldwide, with significant societal and economic changes.⁽⁾ Artificial intelligence can learn from large sets of data, including medical texts, images, and patient records. This makes medical AI solutions applicable to various areas including diagnosis,⁽⁾ therapy,⁽⁾ clinical decision support,⁽⁾personalized medicine,⁽⁾clinical research,⁽⁾ drug development,⁽⁾ administrative tasks,⁽⁾scientific or layman writing,^(,) and virtual healthcare assistance.⁽⁾ There is a growing focus on how prepared the healthcare workforce is, regarding this new situation,⁽⁾and it has been recommended that AI solutions be developed in close collaboration with practicing clinicians.⁽⁾

To be accepted and implemented, AI solutions with a clinical impact must be evaluated by physicians. Physicians play a crucial role in deciding whether to embrace this technology. Therefore, it is important to explore and understand their perspectives. Medical students, as the future generation of physicians, will also be affected by this new technology. Several studies have demonstrated that AI influences the choice of some specialties, such as radiology, in 25-49% of cases.^(-)
