In January’s article, “14 things dentists should look forward to in 2018,” I mentioned software incorporating machine learning as a high impact area that is emerging quickly. I’ve since had the privilege of meeting two brilliant engineers that have developed sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) platforms in several industries and are now doing promising research on dental applications.

This month I sat down with Angam Parashar and Ankit Singh, co-founders of a sophisticated artificial intelligence start-up company, to get their perspectives on how and when AI will impact dentistry.
