Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: Principles, Prompts, and Ethics

Links compiled by Dr. Juan Carlos Villalobos

Artificial Intelligence is here to stay and holds many promises as well as potential pitfalls within the realm of medication education (as well as research and other related domains). Understanding this emerging technology is crucial for faculty members:

• Microsoft Source: 10 AI terms everyone should know 

• General principles for use of generative AI

• How to write effective “prompts” in AI (this is the key to generating usable results)

• The AI Ethics Revolution— A Brief Timeline

• Generative AI Has a Visual Plagiarism Problem

I recommend exploring Perplexity, a free and powerful AI tool. Try it with research or teaching prompts and it provides a search and citation tool which reminds me of how Google seemed the first time I used it decades ago.
