I don&#x27;t think you&#x27;ll see fully automated surgery soon because most ML algorithms can too easily be fooled by unusual sensor data or unexpected states -- and these are very much AGI problems as well.  Those algorithms are no where near the reliability levels required for approval as medical devices.  We will have advanced assist-mechanisms (like davinci robots) long before the decision making processes are incorporated into a robot surgeon.  Essentially, there won&#x27;t be a &quot;computer surgeon&quot; for a long time and the difference between Human Surgeons using modern assist technology vs a fully computer surgeon mortality will be blurred as assistance technology improves. So there will never be a 1% vs 0.5% mortality.  It will be equal mortality at best before AGI allows improvements under as many or more conditions as a human. Just my opinion of course.
