Abstract :Objective: This research aims to examine the knowledge level and awareness of Faculty of Medicine students about medical artificial intelligence technologies. Methods: In this study involving students studying at Medical Faculties in Turkey, descriptive questionnaire, and the Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale for Medical Students (MAIRS-MS) were used. The suitability of continuous variables for normal distribution was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Descriptive statistics for continuous variables are presented as mean and standard deviation or median (Q1-Q3). Descriptive statistics for categorical variables are reported as frequencies and percentages. Homogeneity of variances was evaluated with the Levene test. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the scale subdimension and total scores according to two independent groups; One-way Analysis of Variance or Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the scale subdimensions and total scores according to more than two independent groups. Dunn-Bonferroni test was used for multiple comparisons if there was a significant difference between the groups. The relationship between MAIRS-MS subdimensions and MAIRS-MS score was evaluated with the Spearman correlation coefficient. MAIRS-MS reliability was determined by Cronbach alpha value. The value of p<0.05 was determined as the level of statistical significance. Results: MAIRS-MS scores of students who thought that artificial intelligence technologies would contribute to the development of the profession and reduce the workload were found to be higher (p=0.003; p<0.001). Conclusions: It is seen that the students\' awareness level about medical artificial intelligence is high, and they have the ability to use artificial intelligence technologies.Keywords : Yapay zekâ, Tıpta yapay zekâ uygulamaları, Eğitim, MAIRS-MS, Teknoloji
