This is the second episode with Dr Martin Gale specialist endodontist talking about artificial intelligence and dentistry. You can find the first episode in the previous podcast links. It’s well worth a listen because it covers the context by explaining the history of AI before we get into the ethics of AI. In this second episode, we will be covering how AI might disrupt patient care the business of dentistry, who controls the patient journey, and how manpower and the employment may change. This is particularly relevant for young, early career dentists. So listen in. Please sit back and enjoy
