aceArtificial intelligence ethical awareness and academic integrity among medical students at the University of Khartoum: a cross-sectional study
Integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare and medical education implies significant opportunities along with significant ethical challenges. Despite the substantial medical student uptake of artificial intelligence globally, little comprehensive assessments of ethical awareness are being conducted. This study aimed to assess artificial intelligence awareness and academic integrity level among University of Khartoum medical students and to examine relationships between the awareness level, demographic…
Students showed moderate ethical awareness overall, with privacy and data protection scoring highest (median 4.67), suggesting a solid base in some areas of AI ethics.
Formal AI instruction is minimal for most students, and awareness of transparency and fairness is weakest, so ethical competence depends largely on informal exposure.
The sample was recruited by convenience sampling with quota allocation at a single institution, and the authors say longitudinal research is needed to track how AI ethics awareness evolves during training.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1637 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
