Abstract

ChatGPT is the first public generative artificial intelligence (AI) model pre-trained to generate human-like text responses. Owing to its comprehensive reservoir of knowledge in various fields, researchers have been exploring its potential applications in medical education, such as in the Human Anatomy discipline. This article aims to provide a summary of the existing literature on ChatGPT in anatomy education (AE) and research (AR), aggregating them to condense their discoveries in their research. In this review, we introduce the current information for the mechanism of ChatGPT revealed to the public, summarise the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT and attempt to evaluate its practicality in AE and AR. Further, we identify ChatGPT’s potential implications in AE and AR along with areas of improvement to analyse the feasibility of deploying ChatGPT in AE and AR.

Keywords: ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, anatomy, education, research.
