الملخص

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform dentistry, yet its adoption depends on the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of dental professionals. This study investigates these factors among students and alumni of the University of Doha for Science and Technology. A systematic literature review analyzed 44 studies to identify knowledge gaps, followed by a cross-sectional survey of 101 participants, achieving an 84.87% response rate. The survey utilized a pre-validated instrument adapted from existing literature. The study findings indicate that most participants have only basic AI knowledge (77.2%) and a significant portion have received no formal AI training (68.3%). Using the Attitude Toward Artificial Intelligence (ATAI) Scale, we found moderate AI acceptance (mean = 6.56) and neutral-to-slight fear (mean = 4.85). AI perception in health education suggests that while participants recognize the potential benefits of AI in health education, some remain neutral or uncertain about its practical implications (M = 2.38, SD = 1.33). Regarding AI education priorities, participants rated AI for health-related research (93.07%) as the most important topic for inclusion in health curricula. The study also reveals that perceptions of AI in health education significantly predict AI acceptance (p = 0.0073, β = 0.676). The present study underscores the need for structured AI education, emphasizing progressive AI exposure, hands-on training, and perception-focused learning. Future research should explore longitudinal AI acceptance trends and tailored AI training programs to optimize AI's role in dental practice.
