AI in dentistry meets real-world advocacy in Episode 22 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions. Dr. John Flucke welcomes Loren King, RDH — 14-year clinician, global speaker on human trafficking prevention, founder of upcoming nonprofit Finding Anon, and Evangelist Officer at Trust AI.
Key Highlights:
- Origin Story: From dental assisting to hygiene for autonomy → discovering human trafficking awareness through personal experience with childhood sexual assault → 7 years speaking globally, training thousands on identification/reporting.
- Human Trafficking Crisis: Fastest-growing organized crime ($150B industry); 30%+ of victims see a dental professional while trafficked (often unnoticed). Loren teaches visual/audible signs, protocols, and myths (e.g., not just sex trafficking — forced labor dominates).
- Finding Anon Nonprofit: Launching 2026 to fund global awareness, policy reform, and Anon AI — facial recognition cross-referencing digital patient photos with missing persons databases for real-time victim identification.
- Trust AI Revolution: Isaac (free dentistry-specific LLM) evolves continuously via 4,000+ dentist feedback — no hallucinations, specialist-trained. Dentistry’s “iPhone moment”: adaptive, generative AI vs. static “landline” tools.
- Future Vision: In 18–24 months, predictive diagnostics, autonomous workflows, and global standard-of-care democratization. AI handles drudgery; humans deepen connections.
Loren’s mission: Equip clinicians to spot trafficking and embrace ethical AI — turning dentistry into a force for prevention and innovation.
