Experts discover troubling reason oral health may worsen in the coming decades: ‘Real-world problems do not have clear-cut labels’

Dimitris Bertsimas, entrepreneurship faculty lead, MIT Jameel Clinic, comments on the benefits of using AI to analyse and combat climate-related issues, including the growing prospect of oral health issues linked to increased temperatures and poor air quality.

"Real-world problems do not have [clear-cut] labels—global warming is not just physics, or engineering or mathematics. Medicine is not just biology, chemistry, or computer science. Multimodal data will increasingly be used across science, engineering and medicine, and [AI] will become the predominant methodology for predictions and decision-making across all fields," he said.
