The words to use
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Software that learns patterns from data, such as X-rays labelled by dentists, and then flags similar patterns in new cases.
- Automation bias
- Trusting a computer's output too much: accepting its errors, or missing problems it fails to flag.
- Digital workflow
- Using scans, computer design and 3D printing or milling instead of physical impressions and hand-made models.
- Second reader
- Using AI after forming your own view, to challenge it, rather than letting the software decide for you.
- Regulatory sandbox
- A supervised space where regulators and companies test new technology, such as the MHRA's AI Airlock for AI medical devices.
