Robotic surgery systems<\/a> are used in thousands of hospitals around the world. A decade ago they were clunky machines built to assist with routine procedures. Today, they\u2019re capable of conducting end-to-end surgeries without human aid.<\/p>\n

Recent leaps in the field of deep learning have made difficult tasks such as surgery, electronics assembly, and piloting a fighter jet<\/a> relatively simple. It might take a decade to train a human in all the necessary medical knowledge required for them to perform brain surgery. And that cost is the same for each subsequent human surgeon thereafter. It takes about the same investment for every human surgeon.<\/p>\n

But AI is different. The initial investment to create a robotic surgery device might be large, but that all changes once you\u2019ve produced a working model. Instead of 8-12 years to create a human specialist, factories can be built to produce AI surgeons en masse. Over time, the cost of maintaining and operating a surgical machine \u2013 one capable of working 24\/7\/365 without drawing a paycheck \u2013 would likely become trivial versus maintaining a human surgical staff.<\/p>\n
