How is AI Transforming Medical Research, Education and Practice?
Andrej Thurzo
Abstract
Abstract Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping medical research, education, and clinical practice. This brief communication reviews new AI applications—from personalized learning and immersive simulations in medical education to AI-assisted diagnostics in clinical settings—and examines the accompanying ethical and practical challenges. Drawing on insights from last November’s editorial in the Bratislava Medical Journal, the paper argues that while AI offers powerful new tools, human oversight remains essential. Future efforts must establish clear governance frameworks and update educational curricula to foster effective human–machine collaboration, ensuring that the uniquely human elements of science and creativity endure.
