Embodying surgical robots with next-gen AI can safely augment practice if ethical and regulatory questions are addressed.
This is according to a new Frontiers in Science lead article in which researchers Prof Prokar Dasgupta, Dr Alejandro Granados, and Dr Nicholas Raison, explore how sensor-rich operating rooms and AI surgical co-pilots could enable more precise, data-driven, personalized surgery. Their article outlines how advances in multimodal data integration, machine learning, and robotic systems could enhance situational awareness, intraoperative decision-making, and team performance.
It highlights how these technologies may enable anticipatory behaviors, adaptive learning, and improved coordination across surgical teams.
Join the authors at our Frontiers in Science Deep Dive webinar on 11 June 2026, 16:00–17:30 CEST, as they explore how surgical roles may evolve, and how predictive AI and robotics could improve patient outcomes while maintaining safe and effective clinical practice.
