Session synopsis: 
A.I. when effectively used can reduce waste and error, enable easier access and add to a more sustainable practice environment be it academic or clinical. Through this theme on day three we will showcase some examples from industry as well as academia on how A.I. is help make sustainability achievable. 

Francesco Gallo, Senior Director of Global AI Strategy and GM of Henry Schein One Italia, Kopfwerk and Orisline Portugal, will delve into the current applications of artificial intelligence in the software industry. He will discuss how AI is augmenting human capabilities by automating manual and repetitive tasks and leveraging data to improve performance and achieve sustainability goals. The presentation will cover several areas, including software applications, operational optimization, and energy efficiency improvements. In addition, he will explore how AI can transform the "patient digital experience" in dentistry, paving the way for a more advanced, patient-centered, and efficient healthcare system.

Francesco will then be joined by a panel of invited speakers from ADEE corporate partners to further explore A.I. in oral health education settings and how the future might look.

This session will conclude with the presentation of the 2024 Oral Health Professional Educators’ ‘Practice Green©’ Awards.
