Abstract

Over the last decade, the emerging fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have been introduced in medicine, gaining much attention. This study aims to assess the insight of medical students and faculty regarding AI and robotics in medicine. A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students and faculty of the University of Nicosia. An online questionnaire was used to evaluate medical students’ and faculty’s prior knowledge and perceptions toward AI and robotics. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software, and the statistical significance was assumed as p value < 0.05. Three hundred eighty-seven medical students and 23 faculty responded to the questionnaire. Students who were “familiar” with AI and robotics stated that these breakthrough technologies make them more enthusiastic about working in their speciality of interest ( p value = 0.012). Also, students (59.9%) and faculty (47.8%) agreed that physician’s opinion should be followed when doctors’ and AI’s judgment differandthatthedoctorinchargeshouldbeliableforpossibleAI’smistakes(38.8%students:47.7%faculty).AlthoughthemostsignificantdrawbackofAIandroboticsinhealthcareisthedehumanizationofmedicine(54.5%students;47.8%faculty),most participants(77.6%students;78.2%faculty)agreedthatmedicalschoolsshouldincludeintheircurriculumAIandroboticsby offeringrelevantcourses(39.5%students;52.2%faculty).Medicalstudentsandfacultyarenotanxiousabouttheadvancements ofAIandroboticsinmedicine.MedicalschoolsshouldtaketheleadandintroduceAIandroboticsinundergraduatemedicalcurriculabecausetheneweraneedsfullyawarehealthcareproviderswithbetterinsightregardingtheseconcepts. © 2021 The Authors .

医学生和教师对人工智能和机器人的认知探讨。问卷调查
在过去的十年中,人工智能(AI)和机器人技术等新兴领域被引入医学领域,受到了广泛关注。本研究旨在评估医学生和教师对医学中人工智能和机器人技术的见解。在尼科西亚大学的医科学生和教员中进行了一项横断面研究。一份在线问卷用于评估医学生和教师对人工智能和机器人技术的先验知识和看法。采用SPSS软件进行数据分析,假设p值< 0.05。387名医学生和23名教师回答了调查问卷。“熟悉”人工智能和机器人技术的学生表示,这些突破性技术使他们对自己感兴趣的专业工作更有热情(p值= 0.012)。同时,学生(59.9%)和教师(47.8%)认为,当医生和人工智能的判断不同时,应该遵循医生的意见,并且医生应该对可能出现的人工智能错误负责(38.8%的学生和47.7%的教师)。尽管人工智能和机器人在医疗保健领域最显着的缺点是医学的非人性化(54.5%的学生和47.8%的教师),但大多数参与者(77.6%的学生和78.2%的教师)同意医学院应该在他们的课程中包括人工智能和机器人offeringrelevantcourses(39.5%的学生,52.2%的教师)。Medicalstudentsandfacultyarenotanxiousabouttheadvancements ofAIandroboticsinmedicine.MedicalschoolsshouldtaketheleadandintroduceAIandroboticsinundergraduatemedicalcurriculabecausetheneweraneedsfullyawarehealthcareproviderswithbetterinsightregardingtheseconcepts。©2021作者。这是一篇基于CC by-nc 4.0许可(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)的开放获取文章。
