Significances and Prospects of Artificial Intelligence in Academic Writing and Clinical Pharmacy Education

The ongoing academic discourse surrounding the utilization of artificial intelligence AI in research and education has been a topic of discussion since the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022. This discourse primarily centers around ethical considerations, maintaining academic integrity, determining authorship, and the necessity for new legal frameworks. The implementation of AI has the potential to enhance time efficiency, enabling individuals to engage in more critical thinking. Additionally, its ability to recognize patterns within vast amounts of data can facilitate advancements in drug discovery, improve clinical decision making, and aid in the development of guidelines, ultimately benefiting patient safety. Furthermore, AI is prompting a re evaluation of the nature of learning and the purpose of education on a global scale. It challenges traditional teaching methods, necessitating a shift from memorization based learning to the cultivation of critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills. Despite the opportunity to reconsider educational concepts within pharmacy curricula, several universities worldwide have chosen to prohibit the use of AI. This commentary provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing debate, highlighting the potential consequences and opportunities for clinical pharmacy research and education.
