Description
Summary:This letter examines the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT among medical students in dermatology research, driven by the competitive nature of residency matching. While AI can significantly boost research productivity, it also introduces ethical concerns, including risks of academic dishonesty, data privacy issues, and potential over-reliance on technology that may undermine students’ critical thinking and intellectual development. Balancing AI's benefits with a commitment to ethical standards is crucial to preserving the integrity and quality of medical research.
