Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming deeply embedded in healthcare. To follow, ethical oversight must leap ahead. Here we introduce a Hippocratic-inspired AI Commitment. that will help orient towards ethical responsibilities and challenges of medical AI. Such oath is critical for students, new entrants, or AI developers. Furthermore, it is equally essential for the academic community: as educators, researchers, curriculum designers, and institutional policy contributors leading to interdisciplinary collaborations.

By engaging with the oath, we reinforce ethical awareness in our own work and guide the next generation responsibly back to human-centered values. These include bias and fairness, transparency, privacy and consent, accountability, justice, and patient safety.

This oath, modeled similar to the Physician’s Hippocratic Oath, is concise, memorable, and repeatable. Furthermore, it promotes early internalization of a practical, values-driven framework rather than having abstract principles. It is suitable by being part of ethics curricula, medical training modules, as well as in institutional pledges, team-based reflective exercises, and ceremonial adoption in graduations.

For future directions, we propose piloting the oath in academic and professional programs, conducting iterative Delphi-based workshops with interdisciplinary stakeholders, and establishing an open-access platform for continuous refinement and community feedback. These steps aim to transform the oath from symbolic principle into a living, actionable framework, ensuring that as AI reshapes medicine, it does so with conscience, inclusivity, and accountability at its core.
