An AI-powered robot was able to remove a gall bladder from a dead pig in what researchers claim is the first realistic surgery by a machine with almost no human intervention.
The robot is powered by a two-tier AI system trained on 17 hours of video encompassing 16,000 motions made in operations by human surgeons. When put to work, the first layer of the AI system watches video from an endoscope monitoring the surgery and issues plain-language instructions, such as “clip the second duct”, while the second AI layer turns each instruction into three-dimensional tool motions.
