Abstract

Abstract The recent rise of powerful large language model (LLM)-based AI tools, exemplified by ChatGPT and Bard, poses a great challenge to contemporary dental education while simultaneously offering a unique resource and approach that potentially complements today’s teaching and learning, where existing widely available learning resources have often fallen short. Although both the clinical and educational aspects of dentistry will be shaped profoundly by the LLM tools, the didactic curricula, which primarily rely on lecture-based courses where instructors impart knowledge through presentations and discussions, need to be upgraded urgently. In this paper, we used dental course materials, syllabi, and textbooks adopted currently in the School of Dentistry (SOD) at Meharry Medical College to assess the potential utility and effectiveness of ChatGPT in dental education. We collected the responses of the chatbot to questions as well as students' interactions with it for assessment. Our results showed that ChatGPT can assist in dental essay writing and generate relevant content for dental students, in addition to other benefits. The limitations of ChatGPT were also discussed in the paper.
ChatGPT 在一所历史悠久的黑人医学院加强牙科教育学习
摘要 最近,以ChatGPT和Bard为代表的基于大型语言模型(LLM)的强大人工智能工具的兴起,对当代口腔医学教育提出了巨大挑战,同时也提供了一种独特的资源和方法,有可能对当今的教学起到补充作用,而现有的广泛可用的学习资源往往存在不足。虽然口腔医学的临床和教育方面都将受到 LLM 工具的深刻影响,但主要依赖于讲授式课程(教师通过演示和讨论传授知识)的说教式课程急需升级。在本文中,我们使用了 Meharry 医学院牙科学院(SOD)目前采用的牙科课程材料、教学大纲和教科书,以评估 ChatGPT 在牙科教育中的潜在实用性和有效性。我们收集了聊天机器人对问题的回答以及学生与聊天机器人的互动情况进行评估。我们的结果表明,ChatGPT 可以帮助牙科论文写作,并为牙科学生生成相关内容,此外还有其他好处。文中还讨论了 ChatGPT 的局限性。
