As artificial intelligence continues its ascent across numerous sectors, it presents both exciting opportunities and unique challenges for the future of academic publishing. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the way of computer systems to perform tasks that has been done by human brain before, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. In the realm of medical writing, AI is being harnessed through various applications. The increasing amalgamation of AI into medical writing has ignited a fervent debate, with experts and stakeholders divided on whether it represents a valuable tool for progress or a potential threat to the integrity and quality of scientific publications. While proponents celebrate AI's potential to streamline research, enhance efficiency, and broaden access to knowledge, critics voice concerns about ethical implications, the risk of plagiarism, and the potential for deskilling among researchers. Therefore, it is pivotal to acknowledge that AI has the potential to be both a boon and a bane, and its ethical and practical implications must be carefully considered to ensure its responsible and beneficial integration into the spectrum of medical writing.
