Abstract

BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education is poised to revolutionize teaching, learning, and clinical practice. However, successful implementation of AI-based tools in medical curricula faces several challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings like Pakistan, where technological and institutional barriers remain significant. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical students and faculty regarding AI in medical education, and explore the perceptions and key barriers regarding strategies for effective AI integration.
