description Introduction: Gamification, the application of game design elements in non-game contexts, has been revolutionized by the rapid advancement of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). By providing real-time feedback and personalized learning experiences, AI-powered gamification has emerged as a pivotal tool in enhancing medical education. This approach leverages both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to facilitate the learning process and bolster cognitive and practical skills among medical students. Method: This scoping review comprehensively examined software and websites that integrate AI and gamification elements in medical education. Data were sourced from diverse academic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and other reputable repositories. Studies published between 2008 and 2024 were included if they directly addressed the application of AI and gamification in medical education. Results: Among 3075 identified articles, 22 were selected for analysis. Nine software tools and websites incorporating gamification and AI in education were identified. These tools, underpinned by gamification elements and learning theories, foster enhanced motivation and individualized learning experiences. Conclusion: The findings underscore the potential of AI-powered gamification to significantly improve learning outcomes and strengthen cognitive and practical skills among medical students. By providing immediate feedback and creating interactive learning environments, these tools render the learning process more engaging. Further research is warranted to explore their applications across diverse educational contexts
