We're in the early years of the AI revolution, but we're not completely appreciative of these nascent technologies. Some people fear that AI will eventually lead to catastrophe. That's not the only worry. People also fear that AI will replace human jobs, regardless of whether that's part of the AI doom scenario.
But using AI in various industries will lead to massive breakthroughs that will help us tremendously. That's how I feel about it, at least. The work of a startup called Perceptive is proof of that. The company created a robot dentist that can perform certain surgeries independently.
Imagine a fleet of fully automated robotic dental systems deployed around the world to speed up certain procedures and possibly reduce costs. That's the dream, at least. For now, the world's first robot dentist needs approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before becoming a widely used service.
