Be Ready: AI is in your Future
At present, AI is already being used in dental practices. It is helping to read 2D X-rays, it is being used by insurance companies to determine whether to pay on care given, it is helping Dentists to design cases. The only limitation on AI is our imaginations. We will explore what AI really means. We will explore how AI is being used today. Finally we will discuss how AI will affect us in the future, including in the 3-D world. Participants will have a better idea how AI will affect their future practices and when to engage with AI.
