What? AI does indeed "loom over" many parts of medical practice, but dissecting cadavers is not one of them.
However, the author is apparently an anesthesiologist, which does seem like one of those roles that could be mostly replaced by an AI (read signals in, write output out).
- wl 2y agoAn AI-controlled robot isn’t going to be intubating, placing 14 gauge lines, or doing blocks anytime soon. And even for algorithmic-type things, the reason you have anesthesiologists around is for all those times when the standard algorithms stop working or are inappropriate to begin with. Anesthesia is probably one of the last specialties that would be replaced by robots and AI.
