Summary

Autonomous surgery may sound futuristic, but automation already plays an important role in procedures requiring extraordinary precision. Mathias Unberath of Inner Logic joins Grant Harvey to explain how AI could help surgical robots understand anatomy, respond to unexpected events, and gradually take on more responsibility in the operating room. They explore which procedures could be automated first, how robots can learn to recover from mistakes, and why these systems may expand access to care without eliminating the need for human surgeons.
