Commentary on the Article “Reimagining Medical Education: Use of Technology and Artificial Intelligence to Educate, Innovate, and Engage”

Authors

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education requires developing digital literacy as a fundamental competence for the ethical, critical, and autonomous practice of the profession. The uncritical use of systems such as ChatGPT or Med-PaLM can create cognitive dependence and weaken clinical reasoning if their functioning, biases, and limitations are not understood. Medical training must prioritize human judgment, empathy, and moral responsibility in the face of educational automation. Incorporating AI literacy into curricula, providing continuous faculty training, and establishing institutional policies to regulate its use are necessary steps to ensure a transparent, equitable, and humanistic application of technology. Only an education that combines technical knowledge with ethical awareness will allow the medicine of the future to preserve its essence: clinical reasoning and a commitment to life and human dignity.
