<![CDATA[Limited evidence exists about the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Indonesian dental practitioners with regard to artificial intelligence (AI). A cross-sectional survey was performed among 235 licensed dentists throughout Indonesia, assessing their attitudes on the potential benefits and barriers of AI in dentistry, and its perceived influence on their profession. A “positive attitude – knowledge gap” was observed: attitudes towards AI were very positive (79.6% good), with comparatively low levels of basic AI knowledge (54.3% good). Dentists are positive towards the impact of AI on their professional efficiency (86.4%) and accuracy (82.1%), but remain concerned over the potential barriers of its implementation, specifically the ambiguity in legal liability (82.1%), high cost (77.0%), and data security issues (71.9%). The majority of dentists do not believe that AI will replace them (65.5%), but most worry that the use of AI may erode their skills (54.9%). There is strong support for curricular change (83.4%). Overall, Indonesian dentists are amenable to AI but are currently limited by low knowledge and many AI-related barriers. To increase its adoption, future efforts should focus on promoting practitioner education, as well as increasing confidence in legal and regulatory structures.]]>
