Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in dentistry, particularly in analyzing clinical data and diagnosing diagnostic aids. It is also becoming popular in education, where it could help dental tutors and examiners in reviewing various documents and tasks. The grading process in dental education is complex and can be challenging due to subjectivity, bias, and strict timelines. AI-based tools like ChatGPT, based on Large Language Models (LLM), can automate the grading process, potentially removing subjectivity and saving time.

AI can evaluate answers and projects, validate references and research, and provide detailed feedback. However, concerns persist about its impact on students, such as students focusing on formulaic essays. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of AI modes requires ongoing monitoring and awareness, and faculty members must consistently review the AI’s performance and adjust the training data and algorithms as needed.

Ethical issues related to fairness and transparency must be maintained to prevent biases and ensure fair student evaluations. Implementing AI-models in an academic setting requires sufficient technical infrastructure and support, as well as investment in training faculty members and providing resources to seamlessly integrate AI into their systems. Overall, AI can be a promising solution for automating the grading process in dental education, but it requires careful implementation and ongoing monitoring to ensure its effectiveness.
