Intuitive da Vinci 5

Impressive.

Can't help but feel like this is the stage in evolution that allows every minute data point about surgery and human interaction to be captured and modelled at scale ... so that eventually the human expert (surgeon) can be replaced with an AI model.

Scary thought ... that we might one day let autonomous algorithms and machines cut us open.

All the failure modes we know about hardware, sofware, huuman error, corporate greed, will throw up so many complex scenarios on this road!

This robot is amazing and saves lives. But why does the site need to look like they are selling an Apple consumer device?
