The development of artificial intelligence in medicine in Iraq indicates the increasing need for this new idea to be taught to medical students. The objective of such research study having this specific interest is to examine the attitudes of Iraqi medical students toward AI, with the focus made on the level of their understanding of AI and the types of career prospects that they envisage. In a study conducted on Iraqi medical students, a doctrine was outlaid; Iraqi med students were requested to complete anonymously in an online survey respectively. Analysis of the collected data was done by using SPSS21 software. Such an approach gave you the opportunity to investigate the behavioral patterns, trends and relations of the data, which allowed you to gain important outcomes about how the respondents see AI in medical education. The results showed that a total of 23 medical universities participated in the study and their response was collected to the extent of 318. The most of respondents (s=91,5%) is confident in the fact that AI is going to affect health care in the not so far future. Specially, the responses were summarized into those who are going to show strong agreement (33.6%, s = 107) and those who are going to show agreement (57.9%, s = 184). In this regard, the research found that Iraqi medical students find AI indeed adjacently affecting and are open to interacting with such new technology. Additionally, it leaves open a question - we should provide accompanying training programs against Artificial Intelligence during medical education for doctors.
