AI is cool, but literally giving one a scalpel and allowing it to excise a tumor is so far beyond both what our present technology and regulatory safeguards will realistically facilitate within most of the lifetime of anyone alive. I do admire your optimism, but I can’t help but think it’s a little misplaced. We have collectively billions of miles driven for self-driving cars and they still can’t reliably distinguish a red light in suboptimal conditions. And somehow a machine is going to slice us open and perform a surgery than even our most skilled surgeons are not reliably performing (let alone generating training data for). Not to mention the human body is an insanely complex, variable, and messy environment where even little mistakes can be life ending. I understand that exponential growth in AI is difficult to comprehend. But fully autonomous surgery is just likely not on the bingo sheet for this century. It’s several orders of magnitude more complex and high stakes than just about every other task AI can take on.
