Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon (hub.jhu.edu)

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.

Good, now add jailtime for the ceo if something goes wrong, then we'll have a very safe tech.

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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

you don't know the half of it.

Shawn Gorman, a lawyer who worked at Axon until 2019, said the company had a high-pressure culture of loyalty, unlike anything he has seen in nearly two decades of practice.

“It was truly toxic,” he said.

this is an employee and her mother getting tased at one of these events.

Just like how we jail every surgeon that does something wrong

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, just a thorough reproduction of the consequences of that wrong.

Inb4 someone added Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw to the training data.

Then it saw Inner Space and invented nanobots. So you win some, you lose some.
