The　medical　metaverse　is　a　combination　of　medicine,　computer　science,　information　technology　and　other　cutting-edge　technologies.　It　redefines　the　method　of　information　interaction　about　doctor-patient　communication,　medical　education　and　research　through　the　integration　of　medical　data,　knowledge　and　services　in　a　virtual　environment.　Artificial　intelligence　(AI)　is　a　discipline　that　uses　computer　technology　to　study　and　develop　human　intelligence.　AI　has　infiltrated　every　aspect　of　medical　metaverse　and　is　deeply　integrated　with　the　technologies　that　build　medical　metaverse,　such　as　large　language　models　(LLMs),　digital　twins,　blockchain　and　extended　reality　(including　VR/AR/XR).　AI　has　become　an　integral　part　of　the　medical　metaverse　building　process.　Moreover,　AI　also　provides　richer　medical　metaverse　functions,　including　diagnosis,　education,　and　consulting.　This　paper　aims　to　introduce　how　AI　supports　the　development　of　medical　metaverse,　including　its　specific　application　scenarios,　shortcomings　and　future　development.　Our　goal　is　to　contribute　to　the　advancement　of　more　sophisticated　and　intelligent　medical　methods.
