Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Stanford Universities are working on AI models that can teach surgical robots by analyzing videos of human-controlled robotic arms. This approach could reduce the need for manually programming each surgical movement.

 

Robotic surgery isn’t new, but using AI to guide these robots raises some concerns. AI, like ChatGPT, can only mimic what it has learned, which might lead to errors in unfamiliar or complex situations.

 

Accountability is another big question. Who’s responsible if AI makes a mistake during surgery? With limited FDA oversight for some AI medical tools, skepticism about reliability and safety is growing.
