Abstract :

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of medical education, offering innovative tools for personalized learning, real-time simulations, and enhanced diagnostic training. However, integrating AI into medical education brings critical ethical challenges, particularly in data privacy and patient confidentiality. This paper explores the delicate balance between leveraging AI-driven educational tools and safeguarding the privacy rights of patients and students. We investigate the ethical frameworks surrounding AI use in medical education, examine the technological mechanisms for protecting privacy, and propose recommendations for responsible AI integration that aligns with the core ethical principles of medical education and practice.
