Abstract Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming medical education, particularly in anatomy, where it enhances visualization and learning. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured online questionnaire among first- and second-year MBBS students. The questionnaire included 27 items across seven domains: demographics, awareness, perceived usefulness, accessibility, trust, ethical concerns, and future intentions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Out of 123 respondents, 90.2% were aware of AI tools in medical education, with ChatGPT and Complete Anatomy App being the most commonly used. Students reported that AI helped visualize complex three-dimensional structures (61%), enhanced learning quality (51.2%), and improved exam preparation (46.3%). Despite their trust in AI, students preferred faculty validation and expressed concerns about academic dishonesty and over-dependence. A majority advocated for integrating AI into the curriculum with proper guidance. Key barriers included subscription costs and a lack of training. Conclusion: AI tools are well-received by undergraduate medical students as supplementary aids for learning anatomy. Whereas students recognize their value, structured faculty-led integration, ethical oversight, and institutional support are necessary for optimal adoption. This reflects a growing readiness among medical students to engage with AI-enhanced education responsibly.
