Abstract Purpose This study aims to assess AI literacy and attitudes among medical students and explore their implications for integrating AI into healthcare practice. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was employed to comprehensively evaluate AI literacy and attitudes among 374 Lusaka Apex Medical University medical students. Data were collected from April 3, 2024, to April 30, 2024, using a closed-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire covered various aspects of AI literacy, perceived benefits of AI in healthcare, strategies for staying informed about AI, relevant AI applications for future practice, concerns related to AI algorithm training and AI-based chatbots in healthcare. Findings The study revealed varying levels of AI literacy among medical students with a basic understanding of AI principles. Perceptions regarding AI’s role in healthcare varied, with recognition of key benefits such as improved diagnosis accuracy and enhanced treatment planning. Students relied predominantly on online resources to stay informed about AI. Concerns included bias reinforcement, data privacy and over-reliance on technology. Originality/value This study contributes original insights into medical students' AI literacy and attitudes, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions and ethical considerations in AI integration within medical education and practice.

Abstract Purpose This study aims to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of PhD students in India regarding research ethics and institutional review boards (IRBs), assess awareness levels, identify training gaps, examine ethical priorities and understand challenges in the IRB application process. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach was used, and a self-evaluator questionnaire was distributed electronically to PhD students. Data collection occurred between 1 March 1 and 30 March 2024, with analysis conducted using SPSS software. Findings The study reveals a significant gap in formal training on IRB procedures within PhD programs and challenges in completing IRB applications despite recognising ethical priorities such as informed consent and confidentiality. Originality/value This study provides insights into PhD students’ perspectives on research ethics and IRBs in India, highlighting the need for enhanced education and awareness initiatives to promote responsible conduct and safeguard research participants.

The study aims to analyse the discovery, access strategies, and library services at the Central Library of Yenepoya (deemed to be University) (hereafter referred to as YCL) with a specific focus on the role of AI. By identifying challenges and proposing solutions, the study employs a qualitative case study method to investigate the discovery, access, and library services at YCL. Data gathering techniques include interviews, observation, content analysis of library records, and a thorough review of relevant literature. The researcher personally observes the library operations and supplements primary data with an analysis of secondary materials. Microsoft Excel is utilized for data management and analysis. The study indicates that the Yenepoya Central Library effectively facilitates the discovery and access of e-resources, along with providing various additional services such as research support, RFID services, QR codes for materials, reference assistance, technical support, and email-based services. However, there's a need for integrating AI tools into the library services.
