Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a valuable resource for medical students and healthcare professionals, allowing them to access highly specialized information and gain a deeper understanding of the subject. The use of artificial intelligence in the preparation of homework in medical schools opens up unprecedented opportunities and raises serious ethical concerns, as the use of these technologies is changing the way medical students learn and acquire knowledge. As the integration of these technologies into medical education continues, we need to understand how to ensure the integration of artificial intelligence into the educational process, while maintaining academic integrity and professional standards. In this review, we evaluate the integration of AI technology into higher medical education, how it can affect the level of teaching of clinical and fundamental disciplines in medical universities, as well as the quality of education received before future practical work in the medical field.
