Evolving surgical teams in the age of artificial intelligence and robotics
Surgery is a critical function of the healthcare system, key to addressing a substantial portion of the global disease burden. The integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics ecosystems into the operating room (OR) promises to radically transform surgery, with profound implications. This article analyzes the current state of surgical AI and robotic systems; presents a vision for their future, highlighting technological and research challenges and their associated impact on surgical teams; a…
AI systems in the operating room using multimodal data from patients, teams, robots and environment to provide situational awareness and intraoperative decision-making that optimizes surgical actions.
AI integration in surgery risks liability gaps from diluted authority chains and bias that exacerbates health inequalities, compounded by concentration of research in resource-rich nations.
Benefits may be limited by geographic concentration of development and need for new oversight methods.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0191 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
