Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly changing healthcare. 

Objective: This study looked at how familiar medical students are with AI, what they know about it, and how they feel about its use in medicine, especially regarding ethics and its potential impact. 

Methods: The research was conducted at a medical college in Pakistan from July to December 2025. A total of 360 students from all years of medical school took part. They completed a survey about their background, AI knowledge, ethical views, and confidence in using AI. 

Results: Results showed that while most students had attended AI lectures, their knowledge level was only moderate. Many were concerned about data privacy and accountability. Most students saw medical imaging as the main use of AI and believed it could improve patient care. 

Conclusion: The study concludes that medical students are aware of AI but need more focused teaching on its ethical and practical sides to ensure it is used responsibly in healthcare.
