Medical schools told to teach future doctors how to use artificial intelligence

It is 'essential' that medical students are taught how to use artificial intelligence (AI), the Medical Schools Council has recommended.
The article from Pulse Today discusses how medical schools in the UK are being encouraged to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their curricula to prepare future doctors for a healthcare landscape increasingly influenced by technology. The Medical Schools Council has issued guidance urging the inclusion of AI education to ensure that medical students understand how AI can enhance patient care, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This initiative comes in response to the rapid advancements in AI technologies like machine learning and natural language processing, which are already being utilized in various medical applications. The guidance emphasizes the importance of teaching students not only how to use AI tools but also to critically evaluate their outputs, understand their limitations, and maintain ethical considerations in AI application. This move aims to equip doctors with the necessary skills to work alongside AI systems, ensuring they can leverage these technologies to improve patient outcomes while being aware of potential biases and privacy issues.
