For reasons I'm not entirely sure of:
I've recently been commissioned by Dental Tribune to write an article on "The Future of AI in Dentistry" (out soon);
I'm on a speaker panel for Practice Plan at The Dentistry Show (15:15 Saturday) with Kiroku CEO Hannah Burrow and Dentinal Tubules founder Dhru Shah - on exactly the same subject.
My ever-present Imposter Syndrome is asking "why me?"
When I write the psychologist's suggested list of "10 reasons that The Chimp is wrong" it looks like this:
You have enough reach to have your finger on the pulse of dentistry;
You have always gravitated towards innovation on The Adoption Cycle;
You are pretty tech-savvy for an old guy 🙄
You have hosted the Align Technology Digital Excellence webinar series for the last 3.5 years;
You observe and listen well;
You have opinions and are never afraid of sharing them (Mr. Marmite);
You have had the blessing of working with some of the best in breed in global digital dentistry;
You are a critical thinker;
You read a lot;
You are available and free!
Spoiler alert - I'm going to apply an 80/20 rule on Saturday:
80% of me thinks that AI in dentistry is both inevitable and fantastic;
20% of me thinks that AI in dentistry is both inevitable and dangerous.
At the Practice Plan "Future Focus" sessions, I'll be sharing with the audience my hopes - and fears.
The hopes are exciting but the fears could land you in serious trouble.
See you there.
