I attended a Johns Hopkins University panel where researchers specialized in this area predicted that, in large part thanks to LLMs, autonomy is poised to become “a ubiquitous part of surgery” in the near or at least mid-term future. Similar to how vehicle autonomy began with automating some capabilities, they said autonomous robots will initially take on select tasks that support human surgeons. They also had no doubt we’ll see surgeries routinely performed fully autonomously by robots in our lifetime.
