Artificial intelligence systems (AISs) gain relevance in dentistry, encompassing diagnostics, treatment planning, patient management, and therapy. However, questions about the generalizability, fairness, and transparency of these systems remain. Regulatory and governance bodies worldwide are aiming to address these questions using various frameworks. On March 13, 2024, members of the European Parliament approved the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA), which emphasizes trustworthiness and human-centeredness as relevant aspects to regulate AISs beyond safety and efficacy. This review presents the AIA and similar regulatory and governance efforts in other jurisdictions and lays out that regulations such as the AIA are part of a complex ecosystem of interdependent and interwoven legal requirements and standards. Current efforts to regulate dental AISs require active input from the dental community, with participation of dental research, education, providers, and patients being relevant to shape the future of dental AISs.

牙科领域值得信赖的人工智能：从欧盟 AI 法案中汲取的经验教训


人工智能系统 （AIS） 在牙科领域越来越重要，包括诊断、治疗计划、患者管理和治疗。然而，关于这些系统的普遍性、公平性和透明度的问题仍然存在。世界各地的监管和治理机构都在努力利用各种框架来解决这些问题。2024 年 3 月 13 日，欧洲议会议员批准了人工智能法案 （AIA），该法案强调可信度和以人为本是监管 AIS 的相关方面，而不仅仅是安全性和有效性。本综述介绍了 AIA 和其他司法管辖区的类似监管和治理工作，并指出 AIA 等法规是相互依存和交织的法律要求和标准复杂生态系统的一部分。当前监管牙科 AIS 的努力需要牙科界的积极投入，牙科研究、教育、提供者和患者的参与与塑造牙科 AIS 的未来息息相关。
