An observational study was conducted at a tertiary care university hospital to assess the perception of preparedness and professional impact of artificial intelligence among medical and nursing students and healthcare professionals. The “Shinners Artificial Intelligence Perception tool” was used. Responses from 345 respondents were included. The number of respondents between the ages of 18-30 years was 305 (88.4%), while 202 (58.6%) of them were female. The mean score for “professional impact of AI” was highest amongst medical students (3.98 ± 0.58) and lowest amongst medical doctors (3.52 ± 0.66). The mean score for “preparedness of AI” was highest amongst nursing professionals (3.28 ± 1.13), while it was lowest amongst nursing students (2.29 ± 0.98). Future interventions to train healthcare workers for utilisation of AI should take these differences into account. Key words: Artificial Intelligence, Health Personnel, Surveys and Questionnaires.
