Abstract

This Editorial comment refers to the article "Medical students' attitude towards artificial intelligence: a multicenter survey," Pinto Dos Santos D, et al Eur Radiol 2018. KEY POINTS: • Medical students are not well informed of the potential consequences of AI in radiology. • The fundamental principles of AI-as well as its application in medicine-must be taught in medical schools. • The radiologist specialty must actively reflect on how to validate, approve, and integrate AI algorithms into our clinical practices.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI); Diagnostic imaging; Education; Machine learning; Medical.
