Artificial intelligence tools in the daily study of medical students

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in medical education has gained relevance in recent years, offering new opportunities to optimize learning and academic management. This study examines the impact of AI on the study habits of medical students at San Gregorio de Portoviejo University, assessing both its benefits and the challenges associated with its implementation. Through a quantitative methodology, a sample of students was surveyed to determine their perceptions of the use of AI in their academic training. The results indicate a majority acceptance of these tools, highlighting their usefulness in improving autonomous learning and the organization of the study. However, the need for specific training to optimize its use was also identified. It is concluded that, although AI represents a valuable resource in medical education, its impact depends largely on access to the technology and adequate training in its use.
