Abstract

Background:
 Artificial intelligence (AI) may be explained as robotic systems that are made by humans. These robotic systems are designed based on statistics and used for executing functions of human-like behavior. AI is used in medical fields such as surgical areas and medical education. The purpose of this study was to analyze the knowledge and attitude of medical students at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) about AI in medicine.
 Methods:
 A cross-sectional study was conducted among all the medical students in the EMU Faculty of Medicine by using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included 3 parts; participant demographics, knowledge about AI, and attitudes toward AI. The results were collected and inspected via Microsoft Excel. The data from the survey were analyzed by chi-square tests using SPSS v26. 
 Results:
 88 medical students responded online survey. Most of the survey responders (77%) were already aware of information related to AI in medicine. The majority of the participants acquired this information from mainly social media and media. Only 26.1% of students indicated that they learned something about AI from lectures. 29.5% of preclinic phase students believe that the human physician will be replaced by AI in the foreseeable future, but the percentage is decreased to 18.5% among clinic phase students. Male students significantly stated that they have a basic understanding of AI (p
