Dental AI Council Opens Membership to Advance AI-Focused Mission

LOS ANGELES—The Dental AI Council (DAIC), a nonprofit devoted to defining the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry through research and education, is welcoming new members to join the organization and contribute to its mission. The DAIC was established in September 2020 by 15 prominent dental industry figures to serve as an independent source of scientifically-validated information and insight regarding the nature of AI and its role in elevating the quality and accessibility of dental healthcare around the world. 

With its membership offering launch, the DAIC aims to build a premier community for individuals to share and advance ideas and support inquiry around AI and its various applications in dentistry––something that the industry currently lacks. 

"In welcoming new members, we’re creating an essential forum for exchange of insight and expertise,” said Steve Bilt, DAIC founding member and CEO of Smile Brands. "We need as many voices as possible both contributing to the conversation around AI and dentistry and speaking publicly and authoritatively about it. That’s how we’ll amplify AI’s impact and ensure its efficacy."

In recent years, AI has taken an increasingly prominent role in almost every industry, including health care. While dentistry is no exception, the field has been slower to adopt the technology, particularly in the patient-facing arena. By encouraging engagement with AI through community discourse, the DAIC hopes to accelerate that process. If successful, the organization expects to see AI delivering profound benefits to dentistry in the fairly near term. 

The benefits of DAIC membership include: 

- Content contribution opportunities
- Research proposal and direction opportunities
- Early access to DAIC research
- DAIC members-exclusive newsletter
- Community forum access and networking opportunities with DAIC members
- Preferred access to DAIC conferences and events
