      ab: The article focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the humanities in medical education, particularly within the emergency department setting. It highlights that while AI offers efficiency in tasks such as admissions, assessment, and diagnostic support, it lacks the capacity to capture the human context and relational aspects essential to patient care. The humanities—through literature, art, and reflective practices—provide critical skills in perspective-taking, personal insight, and social advocacy that complement AI’s capabilities. The article argues for a balanced approach where AI enhances speed and data processing, while the humanities preserve the meaning, empathy, and complexity inherent in medicine, ensuring that patient-centered care remains central.
