The majority of the students showed unfamiliarity with the technical terms of AI. 56.8% of them believed that AI would impact their choice of specialization in the future. Many students and faculty expressed concerns about the ethical and social challenges posed by AI. They emphasized the need to incorporate AI and ethics into medical education in Oman to train better and prepare medical professionals for an AI-powered healthcare system.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:9.0pt"></span><br> <b><span lang="EN-GB">Conclusion:</span></b> <span lang="EN-GB">Medical students in Oman seem to be enthusiastic about AI, which is currently in the spotlight. However, they lack proper knowledge of AI, which limits their understanding and usage of the technology. Both undergraduate students and faculty members recognize the growing importance of AI in healthcare and support the inclusion of AI and ethics education in the medical curriculum. Hence, incorporating AI-related topics in medical education can be a promising start.</span></span></span></span> Artificial Intelligence, medical ethics, medical students, medical education, Oman 14 25 http://edujournal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-12-2535-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Manjiri Vilas Hawal manjiri@nu.edu.om 5300319475328460036227 5300319475328460036227 Yes Department of Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, National University of Science and Technology, Sohar, Oman Miriam Archana Simon miriamsimon@nu.edu.om 5300319475328460036228 5300319475328460036228 No Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, National University of Science and Technology, Sohar, Oman Noor Hasan Abdulla Husain noor200515@nu.edu.om 5300319475328460036229 0009-0005-2385-904X No College of Medicine and Health Sciences, National University of Science and Technology, Sohar, Oman.
