Abstract

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to shape the future of medicine, its place in undergraduate medical education currently is unclear. Numerous arguments exist both for and against including AI in the medical school curriculum. AI likely will affect all medical specialties, perhaps radiology more so than any other. The purpose of this article is to present a balanced perspective on whether AI should be included officially in the medical school curriculum. After presenting the balanced point-counterpoint arguments, the authors provide a compromise. <b>Keywords:</b> Artificial Intelligence, Medical Education, Medical School Curriculum, Medical Students, Radiology, Use of AI in Education © RSNA, 2022.
