Artificial intelligence in dentistry

[摘要] Recently came across this movie Bicentennial Man again, in which this robot man follows the 200 years life of robot and is searching for his identity, friendship, love, and ultimately humanity. How regular updates and mechanical inputs with electrical fixtures makes this robot almost human like, even with human skin and expressions is intriguing. This is way back in 1999 and Hollywood was experimenting in this new genre called “artificial intelligence (AI).” So what is AI? It is sometimes called as machine intelligence and is demonstrated by machine, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals. AI alternatively may be stated as a subject dealing with computational models that can think and act rationally.[1] In computer science, AI research is defined as the study of intelligent agents, any device that perceives its environment and takes action that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals (Russell and Norvig 2003). Colloquially, the term “AI” is applied when a machine mimics, cognitive functions that human associates with other human minds, such as “learning and problem solving.”.
