Mint Primer: Your life may be in the hands of an AI surgeon soon

Live Mint  

Having learnt from videos, a da Vinci robot has been replicating surgical procedures like using a needle and suturing. Robots may be a step closer to performing complex surgeries independently—but will humans trust autonomous AI surgeons? Da Vinci robots, for instance, come equipped with robotic arms to hold surgical tools, cameras for vision and consoles controlled by human surgeons. Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Stanford universities used imitation learning to train the robot to perform three key tasks—manipulating a needle, lifting tissue, and suturing— “in just a couple of days" by watching videos of surgeons. Nearly 7,000 da Vinci robots are being used worldwide, and more than 50,000 surgeons have been trained on the system—a huge database for robots to train on.
