We are seeing a lot of exciting research looking at what we call computer vision, where AI is trying to learn what surgeons see, what the surgical instruments look like, what the different organs look like, and the potential there is to identify abnormal anatomy or what the safest approach to an operation might be using virtual reality and augmented reality to plan ahead of surgeries, which could be really useful in cutting out cancers and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Varghese said doctors in New Zealand are already using AI to help sort through patient backlogs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are using automated algorithms to triage really long waiting lists,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, getting people prioritized and into clinics ahead of time, based on need, so the right patients are seen at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The researchers said there are limitations to the use of artificial intelligence because of concerns about data privacy and ethics.<\/p>\n<p>The report concludes that \u201cnumerous apprehensions remain with regard to the integration of AI into surgical practice, with many clinicians perceiving limited scope in a field dominated by experiential\u201d technology.<\/p>\n<p>The study also says that \u201cautonomous robotic surgeons\u2026. is the most distant of the realizable goals of surgical AI systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br
