Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing medical education by enabling adaptive learning, AI-assisted assessment, and scalable instructional tools. Natural language processing, machine learning, and generative large language models offer innovative ways to support teaching and learning, yet their integration raises ethical, pedagogical, and infrastructural challenges. This viewpoint article aims to examine the current applications, benefits, and challenges of AI in medical education and propose strategies for responsible and effective integration. AI tools such as chatbots, virtual patients, and intelligent tutoring systems enhance personalized and immersive learning. Automated grading and predictive analytics support efficient evaluations, while AI-assisted writing tools streamline content creation. Despite these advances, concerns persist around data privacy, algorithmic bias, unequal access, and diminished critical thinking. Key solutions include AI literacy training, data oversight, equitable infrastructure, and curriculum reform. The FACETS framework offers 6 dimensions (ie, form, application, context, instructional mode, technology, and the SAMR substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition model) to evaluate AI integration effectively. AI offers substantial opportunities to transform medical education, but its adoption must be ethical, equitable, and pedagogically grounded. Strategic frameworks such as FACETS, combined with institutional governance and cross-sector collaboration, are essential to guide implementation so that AI enhances learning outcomes while preserving the humanistic foundations of medical practice.
