Recognizing the profound implications that artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry will have on clinical practice, the training of dental specialists, and the expertise required to deliver the highest standard of oral health care to the public, in 2023, RCDC established a Task Force on AI and Emerging Digital Technology (RCDC AI Task Force). The RCDC AI Task Force has recruited several academic and clinical leaders from across Canada who are involved in specialty programs at universities as task force members.

In summer 2024, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) engaged in public consultations regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dentistry. As part of this process, the RCDC AI Task Force developed a position paper, which was sent to the RCDSO and can be accessed here.
