Abstract:

Introduction The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in clinical practice is on the rise. While there is strong evidence supporting the notion that AI innovations can enhance patient care, alleviate clinicians' burden, and boost efficiency, the effects of AI on medical training and education are still not clear. Objectif: Describe the knowledge, attitudes, and use of artificial intelligence among students at the Faculty of Medicine in Casablanca, Morocco. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in April 2023 among students from 1st to 5th year. Probability sampling was stratified by year of study and clustered. Electronic forms were sent to randomly selected groups of students. Results: We received 393 responses from students. The mean age of the participants was 20.6 ± 1.84 years, 56% of students claimed to have basic knowledge of artificial intelligence technologies, 53% were already aware of AI applications in medicine, 56% agreed that the use of AI technologies in medicine will rapidly solve clinical tasks. Prevalence of AI use among medical school students was 62% with a CI[57-66] %. There was a significant association between the use of AI by students and the fact that they thought that the use of AI clinical in medicine will rapidly solve clinical tasks p value <0.05, in fact 72% of students who agreed that AI facilitates clinical tasks used AI. Conclusion: In this study, medical students demonstrated moderate knowledge of the basics of AI. However, the utilization of AI in the medical field remains relatively low.
