A robot trained on videos of surgeries performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help. Johns Hopkins University<\/p>\n
Until now, surgical interventions involving AI have largely focused on simple task automation. <\/p>\n
This gall bladder operation was far more complex, with the robot surgeon \u2014 powered by a two-tier AI system \u2014 trained on 17 hours of video encompassing 16,000 motions. <\/p>\n
The first AI layer watched the video footage and subsequently created plain-language instructions. <\/p>\n
The second AI layer then turned each instruction into three-dimensional tool motions so that the bot could complete the operation. <\/p>\n
The robotic system achieved 100 per cent success in all of the tasks.<\/p>\n
To make sure it wasn\u2019t just a fluke, the bot performed the same operation seven more times. Each time, the 100 per cent success rate remained<\/p>\n

A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore led the AI experiment. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis made us look into what is the next generation of robotic systems that can help patients and surgeons,\u201d Axel Krieger from Johns Hopkins told The New Scientist. <\/p>\n
However, human surgeons shouldn\u2019t worry about becoming obsolete just yet. <\/p>\n
During the surgery, the AI bot had to self-correct multiple times. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere were a lot of instances where it had to self-correct, but this was all\u00a0fully autonomous,\u201d Krieger explained. \u201cIt would correctly identify the initial mistake and then fix itself.\u201d <\/p>\n
Further, the robot also had to ask a human to switch out one of its surgical instruments for another, meaning the operation was not entirely automated. <\/p>\n
While The Guardian <\/a>cites experts as saying that robot surgery on humans could be trialled within a decade, Krieger says the next step would be to let the robot operate\u00a0autonomously on a live animal, \u201cwhere breathing and bleeding could complicate things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An AI-powered robot has completed a groundbreaking surgical procedure, potentially changing the future of medicine forever.
