Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the medical field, offering the potential for advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and overall healthcare delivery. The current study aims to evaluate the awareness and knowledge of AI among doctors, along with their perceptions regarding its applications in the medical sector. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with medical professionals from a medical college in North Karnataka, India, covering a one-year period (2024-2025). The survey was distributed using Google Forms, gathering responses from 100 participants, with questions addressing demographic data, knowledge of AI, and attitudes toward its integration into healthcare. The results highlighted that while a majority of respondents were aware of AI as a concept, a significant portion lacked formal education in AI and its applications in medicine. Furthermore, the survey revealed a strong willingness among doctors to learn more about AI and integrate it into clinical practice, although challenges such as insufficient training, limited resources, and technical barriers were frequently noted. The study concluded that AI holds significant potential to improve various aspects of medical practice, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and personalized medicine. However, its full integration into the medical curriculum and practice is hindered by a lack of adequate education, ethical concerns, and logistical challenges. The study advocates for the incorporation of AI-focused courses in medical education and the development of practical AI training programs to address these issues. As AI continues to evolve, it will be essential for medical professionals to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to harness its full potential in healthcare.
