Gianluca Torregrossa argues that AI can transform surgery from a craft requiring rare expertise into a standardized process accessible to more hospitals. Like mass production replaced handmade cars, AI could simplify complex procedures and improve safety at scale.
Right now what I do is still very technical. It requires a lot of techniques. We need to take this technique complexity and bring it down to something that is more feasible for a large majority of institutions and surgeons. And to do that, you need more technology. Technology can simplify technique. So you take something that is incredible craftsman and is incredibly difficult and you start to make a production. You have this beautiful handmade car And you start instead to say, I want sustained mobility. Let's have technology to develop a line that can self-produce cars. So I think AI has the opportunity to help us make safer surgery with more technology simplifying technique.
