As future medical professionals, their ability to utilize this emerging technology effectively is crucial. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine medical AI knowledge, readiness, and perceptions among medical students in medical education and healthcare, and the risks and disadvantages associated with it in Iran.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study was conducted among Iranian medical students in 2025. The questionnaire used in this study consisted of three parts: the first part, socio-demographic characteristics; the second part, basic knowledge and students\u2019 perceptions of medical education, healthcare, and risks and disadvantages of medical AI; and the third part, students\u2019 readiness for medical AI.
