An internet-based pilot survey examining the artificial intelligence usage habits of doctors in Bangladesh showed that ChatGPT is the most preferred platform.
An internet-based cross-sectional pilot survey conducted in Bangladesh revealed how doctors use artificial intelligence platforms in medical education, research, and clinical practice. The study, conducted with the participation of 58 doctors, determined that the most widely used tool was ChatGPT at a rate of 93.1%.
The structured questionnaire, distributed via a WhatsApp group with approximately 500 members as part of the research, was completed by 58 doctors, achieving a response rate of 11.6%. The demographic distribution showed 30 female and 28 male participants. It was noted that the majority were in the 25-34 age group and at the resident/fellow level.

Among platforms other than ChatGPT, Claude was preferred by 12.1%, Gemini by 8.6%, and Notebook LM by 6.9%. While the most common area of use in medical education was general reading (62.1%), literature review stood out in research (62.1%), and symptom analysis stood out in clinical practice (60.3%).
