Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly prominent force in medicine, driven by rapid technical advances and a growing number of clinical applications. As the field matures, it now increasingly moves from experimental development toward a phase of broader implementation. However, debates surrounding medical AI are often shaped by exaggerated risks and overly optimistic expectations. This paper seeks to contribute to a more balanced and realistic discussion. Rather than framing AI as either an existential threat or a universal solution, we advocate for an open-minded, evidence-based understanding of AI as a tool to support healthcare and discuss current and emerging challenges related to clinical validation, human–AI interaction, bias and discrimination, education, agentic AI, and the development and maintenance of trust.
