Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence in medicine: Insights of future medical professionals

Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate future medical professionals' perspectives on the advantages, disadvantages, and importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine.Material and Methods: A survey was conducted among two groups: preclinical and clinical medical students (including residents).The survey consisted of questions regarding AI's advantages, disadvantages, and importance in medicine.The responses were collected and analyzed to identify prevailing trends and patterns within each group.Results: In the preclinical group, over 50% of respondents acknowledged the advantages of AI in medicine, including the potential for more accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations, faster and more effective treatment processes, and a reduced workload for doctors.However, ethical and confidentiality concerns, uncertainty about AI's accuracy, and the attribution of medical errors to AI were identified as potential disadvantages.Similar sentiments were echoed by the clinical group, with a majority recognizing the advantages of AI in medicine, particularly in terms of accurate diagnoses, efficient treatment processes, and reduced doctor workload.Ethical and confidentiality issues and concerns about AI accuracy were also highlighted as potential drawbacks.Discussion: The findings of this study underscore the potential advantages of AI in medicine, such as improved diagnostics, treatment recommendations, and overall healthcare efficiency.However, ethical and confidentiality considerations and concerns regarding AI accuracy should be carefully addressed.By embracing AI responsibly, the medical community can harness its transformative potential to enhance patient care and drive innovation in healthcare practice.
