Use of Artificial Intelligence by Bangladeshi Doctors and Its Impact on Medical Learning, Research, and Clinical Practice: An Internet-Based Pilot Survey

BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being incorporated into healthcare education, research, and clinical practice.However, data regarding AI utilization patterns among doctors in Bangladesh remain limited.This pilot survey aimed to evaluate the frequency, applications, perceived benefits, and concerns regarding AI use among Bangladeshi doctors. MethodologyA cross-sectional, internet-based pilot survey was conducted among Bangladeshi doctors.Participants were asked about demographic characteristics; frequency of AI use; preferred AI platforms; applications in medical learning, research, and clinical practice; and their perceptions regarding the future role of AI in medical science.Data from 58 respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics. ResultsAmong 58 respondents, 51.7% were female, and 48.3% were male.Most participants belonged to the 25-34year age group (62.0%), and most were postgraduate trainees (72.4%).ChatGPT was the most frequently used AI platform, reported by 93.1% of respondents.AI was commonly used for literature review (62.1%), protocol writing (58.6%), and symptom analysis (60.3%).Most respondents reported that AI improved medical learning, research, and clinical practice.However, only a minority reported frequent AI dependence in clinical practice.Many doctors also believe AI may replace doctors in the future. ConclusionsAI adoption among Bangladeshi doctors is increasing, particularly for educational and research purposes.While doctors recognize the potential benefits of AI, cautious integration with appropriate training and ethical considerations is necessary.
