Description

The review proposes a curriculum development framework for AI literacy in dental education, drawing on the FDI World Dental Federation Delphi consensus process that identified "four key domains: fundamental knowledge, use cases, evaluation of medical and dental AI, and additional miscellaneous aspects." The first domain covers definitions, machine learning, training/validation/testing, and explainability; the second addresses AI use cases in dentistry; the third covers evaluation matrices and impact on dental health outcomes; the fourth covers generalisability, autonomy and accountability, and governance. The authors note these outcomes "primarily emphasise knowledge acquisition" with lesser focus on skills and critical analytical thinking.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Curriculum revision must aim to equip students with skills necessary to understand emerging innovations, requiring faculty training and dynamic curriculum responsiveness

Constraints

  • The proposed learning outcomes primarily emphasise knowledge acquisition with lesser focus on competencies related to skill development and critical analytical thinking
  • Data privacy and security are notably absent in the proposed competency domains in dental education

Target Learners

  • Undergraduate and postgraduate dental students

Learning Goals

  • AI literacy including fundamental knowledge, use cases, evaluation of AI, and ethics and governance
