Introduction
In contemporary medical education, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising avenues for enhancing learning experiences and academic outcomes (Topol, 2019; Sclater, 2020). This study explores medical students' perceptions and challenges in effectively utilizing AI tools. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing strategies that optimize AI's educational potential.

Methods
A survey was conducted using Google Forms, targeting fifth-semester medical students. The survey collected data on students' roles, comfort with AI, known AI tools, ways they use AI, challenges faced, and perceived benefits and drawbacks. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the students' perspectives.

Results
The survey garnered responses from 20 students. Quantitatively, comfort levels with AI varied: 15% were uncomfortable, 15% were unsure, 25% were comfortable, and 45% were very comfortable. The most recognized AI tool was ChatGPT. Students primarily used AI for improving learning (85%), conducting research (50%), and summarizing literature (45%). Common challenges included choosing the right AI tool (70%), understanding AI technology (40%), and data privacy concerns (35%). Qualitatively, students appreciated AI for creating study plans, generating MCQs, and clarifying doubts. Concerns were raised about the authenticity of AI-generated information, plagiarism, and the potential reduction in human interaction.

Conclusion
Effective integration of AI in medical education requires addressing challenges such as ethical concerns, data security, and comprehensive training. Strategies must focus on providing accessible, practical training opportunities and establishing clear ethical frameworks. These efforts will foster a supportive environment for students to leverage AI effectively, enhancing learning outcomes and preparing future healthcare professionals for the complexities of modern healthcare practice.
