AARHUS, Denmark: As the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the dental industry continues to accelerate, there appears to be a growing consensus as to its rightful function: this immensely powerful tool should augment and never displace human evaluation and judgement. To date, this purposeful balancing of human and machine has been considered mainly from a clinical perspective, but seeking to capture how patients perceive the relationship is the focus of a recent multinational study led by researchers at Aarhus University.
