Artificial Intelligence [AI] relates to the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers [1]. Open AI, an Artificial Intelligence research and deployment company, launched ChatGPT on November 30, 2022 [2] and since then, AI has become the buzzword. However, even before ChatGPT started creating waves, AI had already been becoming a part of our lives in multiple fields. We are familiar with AI voice assistants like Siri and Alexa and automated AI-powered chatbots that provide customer support by answering questions instantly and processing requests. AI is gradually becoming integral to many businesses, sports, and other industries. It was only a matter of time before AI's tremendous possibilities in education were recognized [3].

Medicine is traditionally considered a conservative field, and changes take a long time to become common usage. AI has tremendous scope in medicine, and intelligent 'smart' machines are fast becoming a part of gathering and recording data, analysis, and diagnosis, aiding busy hospitals and medical care providers. The need for medical students to be trained in utilizing AI is also being recognized [4] even though, medical education itself, for the most part, has remained conventional.
