This article analyzes the potential of the Student Scientific Society (SSS) as a digital platform  for the development of competencies of a modern physician in the context of integrating  artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Based on a review of international and national  regulatory documents, research on digital and AI-related competencies of medical professionals, as well as the experience of SSS operations at a medical university, a model of AI-oriented competencies for the future physician is proposed. This model includes fundamental AI literacy, practical user, research, and ethical-legal competencies. The article demonstrates the evolution
of the “classical” SSS into a digital platform integrating educational, research, clinical-applied, and documentation-communication components of working with AI. Practical activity formats are described (such as “AI vs. Audience,” project tracks for prototyping AI services, use of generative models in formative assessment), which ensure the sustainable rather than episodic integration of AI into SSS activities. Special attention is given to a “risk map” and a local  ethical-legal regulatory system for the use of AI in the SSS. It is concluded that the SSS,  functioning as a digital platform with AI integration, holds significant potential for the formation  of competencies of a modern medical specialist and can serve as a pilot framework for the  subsequent implementation of successful practices into core educational programs.
