Abstract: This article delves into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on medical and dental sciences, with a focus on how it transforms diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care. As healthcare develops very quickly due to innovations in technology, there is a pressing need to modernize conventional procedures and establish new standards. However, incorporating AI poses multiple challenges. The quality and diversity of data used in AI algorithms is critical, as skewed results and inequitable healthcare delivery may aggravate health inequities. Ethical instances, like patient consent and data security, compound issues even more. AI technologies frequently operate as “black boxes,†making decision-making processes opaque and could undermine confidence among medical professionals. Effective integration of AI tools is critical; inadequate implementation may disrupt clinical operations and enhance workloads. The paper offers practical solutions to these challenges, such as boosting data diversity, strengthening AI transparency, and adopting strong ethical standards. Ongoing evaluation and adaption of AI technology is essential to ensure its reliability and security. Furthermore, putting resources into employee training and developing cost-effective AI solutions is critical for further adoption. Addressing these concerns would allow the healthcare industry to fully utilize AI’s promise while preserving ethical and equitable practices.
