Ethical aspects and applications of artificial intelligence in maxillofacial imaging

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) seeks to develop algorithms and software capable of emulating intelligent human actions. AI applications in dentistry hold considerable promise for enhancing the precision and effectiveness of diverse dental imaging techniques. While this domain is still relatively young, it demands thorough exploration. Human supervision remains essential to mitigate potential adverse consequences. This article endeavors to shed light on the prevailing ethical considerations stemming from the integration of artificial intelligence into dental practice. It seeks to stimulate discourse surrounding potential ethical pitfalls and encourages critical examination of these issues.
