Sažetak
From October to December 2022, the Digit-HeaL research group conducted quantitative research (pen-and-paper survey) to examine medical students’ attitudes, perceptions, and expectations about digital technologies use, especially artificial intelligence, in health care.The results of our study revealed that almost 30% of students rate their medical ethics/bioethics knowledge as unsatisfactory (mark 1) or satisfactory (mark 2), and only 3% as excellent (mark 5). They see the most significant potential for AI in medicine in data analysis for disease probabilities and the lowest for empathy care. Almost 60% of students expressed concern that AI will negatively affect their relationship with patients, making patients trust them less. As regards the responsibility & liability in case of medical errors and patient injuries, students find among the ones who should bear the responsibility: the manufacturer of the technology (41.2%), the institution in which it is implemented (22.6%), and only 10% think that physicians should be responsible. The majority consider that they will be able to explain to patients how AI works.Preliminary results provide new insights into medical students’ attitudes and can be valuable in modernising the curriculum. Primarily, there is a vast opportunity for medical ethics/bioethics to raise awareness and empower students with the knowledge and critical thinking skills to identify, analyse and address potential issues they will encounter in the future.
