As artificial intelligence continues to transform healthcare, radiology education must move beyond awareness of AI toward developing practical AI fluency.
AI fluency is the ability to use AI effectively, responsibly, and confidently in real-world professional settings. It combines technical skills with clinical judgment, contextual understanding, and communication.
Three essential dimensions of AI fluency include:
- Apply: Use AI tools for meaningful tasks, including drafting, summarizing, prioritizing information, and supporting decisions.
- Judge: Evaluate AI outputs critically, recognize limitations, and know when to question, verify, or override recommendations.
- Communicate: Explain how AI contributes to decisions and communicate its role appropriately to colleagues and patients.
Through HelloAI, educators and healthcare professionals can explore resources designed to strengthen these capabilities and prepare the radiology workforce for an increasingly AI-enabled healthcare environment.
