Dr. Alderman Launches The AI Advantage in Dentistry Book with Intelligent Care Alliance
06/24/2025, New York, NY // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire //
As artificial intelligence transforms healthcare delivery, dental professionals face a critical question: How do I implement AI in my practice effectively, affordably, and successfully? Dr. Kathryn Alderman's new book, The AI Advantage in Dentistry, provides the definitive answer with a comprehensive, practical guide designed for real practices, real teams, and real growth.
This no-fluff book on AI shows dental professionals how to use AI to build smarter, more efficient, and future-ready AI practices without losing the human touch that defines excellent patient care. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in dentistry, business strategy, and AI development, Dr. Alderman addresses the specific challenges dental teams face today, from missed calls and team burnout to low case acceptance and inefficient operations.
'AI won't replace dentists, but dentists who use AI effectively will outperform those who don't,' says Dr. Alderman. 'This book gives you the roadmap to become an AI Advantage Practice, where technology supports your team, simplifies your systems, and fuels sustainable growth.'
The AI Advantage in Dentistry book directly addresses the questions dental professionals are asking: How do I choose the right AI tools? What are the best AI applications for dental offices? How can I automate practice tasks effectively with AI tools? Can AI help me attract and retain more patients? How do I train my team to work confidently with AI platforms?
The book provides systematic, chapter-by-chapter guidance covering the most sought-after AI solutions in dental practice management, from diagnostic tools and front desk automation to AI-driven marketing and revenue optimization.
Unlike theory-heavy guides, The AI Advantage in Dentistry book is built for real-world execution by practitioners, for practitioners. Whether managing a single location or multiple practices, dental professionals will learn to strategically choose the best AI tools by matching specific agents to actual practice problems, from automated phone answering and insurance verification using AI agents to systematic patient follow-up protocols.
The book demonstrates how diagnostic AI can build patient trust through clear visual explanations of treatment recommendations, directly addressing one of dentistry's biggest challenges: case acceptance. Dr. Alderman shows practices how to maximize collections by simplifying insurance verification processes, reducing billing delays, and presenting confident, transparent cost discussions that patients appreciate.
In an era where AI-powered search is changing how patients discover dental care, the guide provides actionable strategies to optimize websites, content, and local SEO so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Siri, and Google recommend practices first. Perhaps most importantly, the book addresses the human element of AI integration, showing how to roll out new technologies with clarity and purpose so teams feel supported and empowered rather than replaced, ultimately building hybrid teams that combine intelligent systems with human expertise for optimal patient care.
The book also introduces XENKEY, the specialized language framework that helps AI agents communicate naturally and build trust with patients and staff.

Indiana's betting big on data centers, but will Hoosiers end up footing the bill?
Patricia Fullen, 76, didn't turn on her air conditioning all summer. She couldn't afford the electric bill with it on. Instead, she used floor and ceiling fans to cool the house. Guests didn't want to come over because it was so stuffy. Friends made fun of her for refusing to turn it on. Fullen lives off her social security check and income from working part-time at the Jay C Store near where she lives in Georgetown, Indiana, a small town near the Kentucky border and right next to the site of Clark County's Meta data center. The data center in Clark County is one of more than 20 proposed or under construction in Indiana, drawn by the state's generous tax incentives. These hulking steel complexes process, store and disseminate data, a mission critical to support the nation's growing technological infrastructure, but they also demand more power than Indiana can provide — at least without significant, often costly, upgrades for the grid. But since the cost of grid upgrades can be passed onto residential customers, regular Hoosiers like Fullen may end up with bigger bills simply so data centers can get power — regardless of their ability to pay. 'People are going to have to make a choice,' Fullen said, 'Am I going to be able to afford to live?' The majority of planned data centers in Indiana haven't publicly released information on how much energy they expect to need, making it challenging for the public and advocates to track the total impact of these centers. Still, an IndyStar analysis, based on the information that is public, finds Indiana faces an uphill battle to connect proposed data centers to the grid. The anticipated energy needs for just nine data centers account for more than half of Indiana utilities' electricity capacity in 2023, based on data compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration and Citizen's Action Coalition. That percentage shrinks when considering independent power producers, which are other potential sources of electricity for data centers, but it still represents a significant portion of Indiana's capacity. Bottom line: Indiana's total electric industry capacity likely would not be enough to power the data centers on top of peak demand, according to 2021 demand data, the most recent available. 'We're talking massive, unprecedented increase in electricity consumption that we just have no recent experience with in Indiana,' said Ben Inskeep, director of the consumer advocacy organization Citizen's Action Coalition. For example, the state's most energy intensive incoming data center project, according to public data, would require one-million-homes worth of power at a whopping 2,250 MW. That center, an Amazon endeavor currently under construction in New Carlisle, would help power AI startup Anthropic. With so many unknowns, the true cost of powering data centers is a mystery even to experts in utility forecasting. Timothy Phillips, the lead analyst for Purdue's State Utility Forecasting Group, said the organization's 2023 forecast — which already projects a decline in electricity resources — did not account for data centers. The group is currently working on an updated forecast for 2025 that will include data centers, which require so much electricity that they cannot be fed into the models but instead must be added on. The little public data available, most tucked away in regulatory proceedings or utility presentations, all tell a similar story: Indiana needs to start generating more electricity if it wants to support data centers. 'But if you take the biggest numbers they were talking about, you would be talking about over 100% increase in energy required for the state,' Phillips said. Generating enough new electricity for the data centers quickly enough could be challenging. Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission proceedings are slow. But data centers can be built within a year or two, presenting a problem for utilities that need quick approvals of grid upgrades so they can quickly bring centers online. As utilities wait for approval on new power plants and transmission lines, they may prevent other large economic development projects from advancing. 'These data centers, because they are just guzzling up all of the existing infrastructure and natural resources available," Inskeep said, "it's actually creating a problem of preventing other types of economic development from coming to our state." River Ridge Commerce Center, a manufacturing and business park in Clark County, testified in IURC proceedings last year that it may have to pause efforts to attract new economic development projects because Duke Energy did not have the capacity following its contract with a Meta data center. Instead, Duke Energy told River Ridge that most current and prospective companies in the area would need to wait four to five years for grid upgrades in order to get power. Though utilities like Duke Energy may lose out on other large customers if they fail to adequately prepare, data centers offer money-making opportunities that are hard to refuse. 'For example, a utility that's making $1 billion a year in revenue, if they just add one or two data center customers they double that revenue in a short amount of time,' Inskeep said. More: AES Indiana seeks 13.5% rate hike to cover storm response, infrastructure and inflation Proponents of data centers, however, argue that attracting data centers are good for Indiana, spurring innovation and economic development. They also point out how much our daily lives have become entangled with tech, making data center expansion efforts inevitable. "Data centers make our economy and our current way of life possible," said Joseph Rompala, legislative director for Indiana Industrial Energy Consumers, Inc, which advocates for cost-effective, reliable energy for large companies. Rompala said data center companies can foster efficiency in energy storage, generation and transmission tech. Though a data center doesn't require many employees on its own, those working to manage or provide support services to the center may spark a trickle out effect, Rompala said, where businesses hire more people to serve the needs of the data center employees. Indiana's data center rush follows a long-term decline in a reliance on coal for electricity and a shift from being a net energy exporter to a net importer. In the past decade net interstate imports for electricity have risen, making up 16% of total supply in 2023. Importing energy isn't always more expensive than generating it, but it can raise rates for consumers if utilities become too reliant on purchasing electricity to feed power-hungry data centers, losing their flexibility to choose whatever option is cheapest. 'The risk is whether you can get it and how high the price is going to be, because the price can get really high,' Phillips said. The decline of coal appears to be driving the dip in electric utility supply while natural gas and renewable sources struggle to fully replace it. Instead, a new power source has taken center stage in Indiana: small modular reactors. Though no SMRs are currently operational in the U.S., these compact nuclear power plants provide up to 300 MW of electricity with a smaller carbon footprint than gas or coal. Indiana lawmakers recently passed legislation that would incentivize utilities to invest in SMRs, allowing them to recoup costs from all the customers they serve. Inskeep and experts agreed it's unlikely Indiana will run out of power; instead, Inskeep said he believes consumers will end up paying the bulk of the cost for supplying data centers power. 'It's really unfair that people right now that can't afford to keep their homes and can't afford to pay their power bills, are now having increases on our bills in order to subsidize these data centers and the infrastructure they need to connect to the grid,' Inskeep said. Residents are starting to push back against data centers coming to their own counties. In March, the Valparaiso mayor announced the city would stop exploring plans to allow a data center to purchase land after public outcry. In May, pushback among residents in Hancock County led a developer to withdraw a project that may have potentially housed a data center, though the developer plans to resubmit a zoning request. Harvard electricity law fellow Eliza Martin, who coauthored a paper on the ways ratepayers are subsidizing data centers, said it's profitable for utilities to supply energy for data center customers because they need so much electricity. But huge investments can pose a risk for other ratepayers if data center deals fall through, Martin said. 'Indiana will have built all of this generation and all of this new infrastructure, and then you won't have the same customers to spread those costs about,' she said. More: A massive data center is planned for Franklin Township, but many residents are concerned Another emerging solution involves creating special requirements for large data centers in order to protect consumers. In February, the IURC approved a settlement between data center companies and Indiana Michigan Power that would reduce the risk of costs being passed to ratepayers by having companies enter into long-term financial commitments. But the settlement only applies to I&M, which is only one of five investor-owned utilities in Indiana. Until more progress can be made, Hoosiers like Patricia Fullen will plan to keep the AC off again this summer. The cost of essentials like food, gas and medicine is just too much, she said — she can no longer afford to be cool.

Exclusive: Thune urges "light touch" on AI regulations
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects some form of freeze on state AI regulations to remain in the "big, beautiful bill" — even as his Republicans keep debating the move. Why it matters: States are leading the way in passing and implementing AI guardrails while Congress lags behind, and consumers say they want regulation. The moratorium has been criticized but Thune's (R-S.D.) support for it falls in line with the number one priority among many Republicans in Washington: don't get in the way of innovation. The big picture: "We want to be the leaders in AI and quantum and all these new technologies. And the way to do that is not to come in with a heavy hand of government, it's to come in with a light touch," Thune said. As former chair of the Senate Commerce committee, it's a space he knows well. The "big, beautiful bill" makes broadband grants contingent on states not pursuing AI regulations for the next 10 years. "I think there'll be some version of it in the bill, but... it's possible, based on kind of the feedback we're getting from members, that it might change in some way," he said. Zoom in: Asked how Congress can know what policies will work 10 years down the line with a technology evolving as quickly as AI, Thune responded frankly, "I don't think you can." "I think this is the kind of thing where you can put some basic sort of parameters in place, but you're going to have to come along and be able to tweak those in the future, too," he said. Asked if the temporary ban on state AI regulations could tie the hands of states for the next decade, Thune responded, "that's the question, I think, that everybody's trying to answer." The way it's written now would derail a host of bills across the country addressing everything from deceptive election materials to autonomous vehicles. Behind the scenes: Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) had a heated debate over the issue during a closed-door meeting Monday night, as Axios reported. Asked about Blackburn's pushback on Tuesday, Cruz told Axios: "The provision is in the bill, and it's going to remain in the bill." The policy has already undergone a rebrand, being framed as a "temporary pause" instead of a "moratorium." It has received the green light from the Senate parliamentarian after Cruz tweaked it slightly, but is still facing fierce opposition on and off the Hill, ranging from populist Republican leaders like Steve Bannon to civil-rights advocates. "I'm willing to take this up on the floor if need be, and hopefully we can address it before then," Sen. Josh Hawley said Tuesday. "I think it's terrible policy. It's a huge giveaway to some of the worst corporate actors out there." Friction point: Cruz, chair of the Commerce committee, which has key jurisdiction on AI issues, has said he's only interested in light-touch regulation for AI. And Congress has shown it can't figure tech regulation out: "The challenge all of the states have is that getting anything through Congress in a reasonable length of time has become extremely difficult, right?" Sen. Mike Rounds, who was a key part of the bipartisan AI workshops last year, told Axios. "But the long term development of AI will require that we have a consistent policy throughout the United States." What to watch: Thune has worked on a bipartisan AI bill with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) in the past, and told Axios that "at some point, I'm hoping we will legislate on this issue."

New Smarsh UK Survey Shows AI Adoption Surges in Financial Services—But Employees Demand Stronger Guardrails
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Smarsh®, the global leader in communications data and intelligence, reveals new research that highlights UK financial services employees' perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI). The data indicates that while AI is fundamentally changing how UK financial services employees work and communicate, they are increasingly aware of the risks it poses to businesses without addressing training, privacy and compliance issues. Over a third of UK employees use AI tools often for work, however, nearly 70% would feel more confident if all AI outputs were captured and monitored for transparency. Balancing innovation with risk from the bottom up The study, based on responses from 2000 UK employees in financial services and insurance, highlights how AI is now a pivotal part of daily business, with over a third often using AI tools for work purposes. However, 55% of employees say that they have never received any official training for using such tools. The research also reveals that: Over a third (37%) say that they often use public AI tools – like ChatGPT or Microsoft 365 Copilot – for work purposes A further 38% are not sure whether their organisation has tools and processes to capture and monitor the outputs of AI tools, with a further 21% explicitly saying that they know that their firm does not Over two thirds (69%) would feel more confident using AI tools if all outputs were captured and monitored for transparency 'AI adoption in financial services has accelerated rapidly, with employees embracing these tools to boost productivity,' said Tom Padgett, President, Enterprise Business at Smarsh. 'But with innovation comes responsibility. Firms must establish the right guardrails to prevent data leaks and misconduct. The good news is that employees are on board—welcoming a safe, compliant AI environment that builds trust and unlocks long-term growth.' Licence to Skill? Employees unsure of AI Agent compliance The research also reveals employees' views around AI tools that are being used within their organisation for public, customer-facing tasks. Specifically, AI Agents – systems that are able to perform specific tasks without human intervention, i.e. a chatbot. The research shows that: The findings come as the FCA is set to give UK financial services firms the greenlight on ambitious proposals for AI innovation with an AI live testing service, aimed at supporting firms with implementing consumer-facing AI tools. "Using public Al tools without controls is digital negligence,' said Paul Taylor, Vice President of Product at Smarsh. 'You're effectively feeding your crown jewels into a black box you don't own, where the data can't be deleted, and the logic can't be explained. It's reckless. Private tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise are a step in the right direction. Still, if companies aren't actively capturing and auditing usage, they're not securing innovation - they're sleepwalking into a compliance nightmare." Smarsh enables organisations to govern AI effectively, allowing them to facilitate compliant use of the technology while protecting employees from the new risks posed by it.
