Our Mission

AI is poised to enact profound change across the field of dentistry. We will see dramatic increases in accuracy and transparency, improved patient care and automation on a variety of levels. This is a truly exciting time and has given rise to many questions. The DAIC's mission is to advance research, education and thought leadership that helps answer those questions, while bringing clarity and foresight to the discourse surrounding AI's role in the dental industry of tomorrow.


Our Purpose

The primary purpose of the DAIC is to conduct independent research to better understand where and how AI will most significantly impact the dental industry, validate the technology’s performance and capabilities, and answer fundamental questions related to AI's role in the oral healthcare ecosystem of tomorrow. In addition to research, the DAIC will advance AI-related educational programming, thought leadership content and public advocacy initiatives.

Ultimately, the DAIC is undertaking these research and educational efforts with the aim of empowering dental industry constituents to not only make the most of AI’s potential, but also to operate thoughtfully in relationship with the technology.

To ensure that its research, education and roadmapping efforts serve all dental stakeholders, the Dental AI Council is composed of representative members from every major industry.
