Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn about biomedical sciences. Large language models, such as ChatGPT, can serve as virtual teaching assistants, providing students with detailed and relevant information and perhaps eventually interactive simulations. ChatGPT has the potential to increase student engagement and enhance student learning, though research is needed to confirm this. The challenges and limitations of ChatGPT must also be considered, including ethical issues and potentially harmful effects. It is crucial for medical educators to keep pace with technology's rapidly changing landscape and consider the implications for curriculum design, assessment strategies, and teaching methods. Continued research and evaluation are necessary to ensure the optimal integration of AI-based learning tools into medical education.

Keywords: ChatGPT; artificial intelligence; medical education; natural language processing; virtual teaching assistant.
