Background: ChatGPT, the state-of-the-art innovation in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining massive
popularity with its notable ability to generate human-like responses within the shortest period. The utility of
ChatGPT is being assessed possibly in all fields now with medical education predicted to be one of the key areas
to be highly benefitted by ChatGPT.
Objective: We aim to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT in Forensic Medicine of the third professional MBBS
part 1.
Methods: The performance of ChatGPT was assessed using the final university examination question papers. The
questions were used to converse with ChatGPT and each of the responses was recorded. The answers generated
by ChatGPT were later evaluated by the expert faculties in the Department of Forensic Medicine. Results: All our
questions regarding the subject were satisfactorily addressed by ChatGPT. The answers were concise without any
pictorial representation. Before generating content related to issues like “sodomy”, potential content violation
messages were sent.
Conclusion: ChatGPT has performed moderately in the evaluation. Although there were invalid and incorrect
responses, with additional inputs and training, these chatbot systems can be improved to assist medical educators
in various subjects and can emerge as one of the innovative teaching-learning strategies in medical education. We
can successfully use these technologies to improve medical education and, ultimately, patient care by leveraging
AI’s benefits while addressing its drawbacks.
