A robot trained on videos of surgeries performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help. The robot operated for the first time on a lifelike patient, and during the operation, responded to and learned from voice commands from the team—like a novice surgeon working with a mentor.

The robot performed unflappably across trials and with the expertise of a skilled human surgeon, even during unexpected scenarios typical in real life medical emergencies.

      know what? let’s just skip the middleman and have the CEO undergo the same operation. you know like the taser company that tasers their employees.

      can’t have trust in a product unless you use the product.

        I understand what you are saying is intended as „if they trust their product they should use it themselves“ and I agree with that

        I do think that undergoing an operation that a person doesnt need isnt ethical however
