Mahmoud Khalil — a key figure in anti-gen*cide protests at Columbia University — was just getting home from an Iftar dinner when agents from the Department of Homeland Security shoved their way into his building and demanded his arrest. But Khalil is a lawful permanent resident of the United States with a green card. Now, he's being held in a Louisiana detention centre. Authorities are pushing to revoke his green card. All this is happening with zero stated evidence of a crime.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education is poised to revolutionize teaching, learning, and clinical practice. However, successful implementation of AI-based tools in medical curricula faces several challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings like Pakistan, where technological and institutional barriers remain significant. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical students and faculty regarding AI in medical education, and explore the perceptions and key barriers regarding strategies for effective AI integration. A concurrent mixed-methods study was conducted over six months (July 2023 to January 2024) at a tertiary care medical college in Pakistan. The quantitative component utilized a cross-sectional design, with 236 participants (153 medical students and 83 faculty members) completing an online survey. Mean composite scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were analyzed using non-parametric tests. The qualitative component consisted of three focus group discussions with students and six in-depth interviews with faculty. Thematic analysis was performed to explore participants’ perspectives on AI integration. Majority of participants demonstrated a positive attitude towards AI integration. Faculty had significantly higher mean attitude scores compared to students (3.95 ± 0.63 vs. 3.81 ± 0.75, p = 0.040). However, no statistically significant differences in knowledge (faculty: 3.53 ± 0.66, students: 3.55 ± 0.73, p = 0.870) or practices (faculty: 3.19 ± 0.87, students: 3.23 ± 0.89, p = 0.891) were found. Older students reported greater self-perceived knowledge (p = 0.010) and more positive attitudes (p = 0.016) towards AI, while male students exhibited higher knowledge scores than females (p = 0.025). Qualitative findings revealed key themes, including AI’s potential to enhance learning and research, concerns about over-reliance on AI, ethical issues surrounding privacy and confidentiality, and the need for institutional support. Faculty emphasized the importance of training to equip educators with the necessary skills to effectively integrate AI into their teaching. This study highlights both the enthusiasm for AI integration and the significant barriers that must be addressed to successfully implement AI in medical education. Addressing technological constraints, providing faculty training, and developing ethical guidelines are critical steps toward fostering the responsible use of AI in medical curricula. These findings underscore the need for context-specific strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings, to ensure that medical students and educators are well-prepared for the future of healthcare.
