At Johns Hopkins, an autonomous surgical robot called SRT-H removed a gallbladder on its own β a 17-step operation it got right 8 times out of 8. π€
Nobody hand-coded it; it learned by watching real surgeons operate, and it even takes spoken corrections mid-procedure. Smart as tireless, superhuman precisionβ¦ but for the first time, nobody's hand was on the controls during the cut. (It's not in a real operating room yet β this was a lab, on animal tissue, with human trials maybe a decade out.) When a robot clips the wrong duct, who owns that cut β the surgeon, the hospital, or the company that trained it?
