We've seen this coming ever since machine leaning has been on the public's radar. The current davinci robot are always wired directly to Intuitive, ostensibly so that their support team can help resolve faults mid-surgery asap.
Every input the surgeon makes is recorded. Intuitive has millions of surgeries of training data.
I'd absolutely hate to put the decision making of my own surgery in the hands of the bullshit generators we call 'AI', but I could say the same about some of the surgeons I've worked with too... If I really had to choose which one I distrust the least, I'd probably just ask my anesthesiologist to load me up with 'i don't give a fuck' drugs and choose whichever option is cheaper.
