SOLO A.I. ROBO OP

Gallbladder cut out with precision of human doc

- BY MARTIN BAGOT Health Editor

A ROBOT has removed a gallbladder on its own in the first such major surgery by a machine.

It cut out the organ on a lifelike patient with 100% accuracy and the expertise of a human surgeon.

The bot uses the Al learning architecture that powers ChatGPT.

US experts watched as it grasped voice commands from the team, like a novice surgeon with a mentor.

It responded to orders such as "grab the gallbladder head" and "move the left arm a bit to the left".

Associate professor Axel Krieger said of the breakthrough: "This shows it's possible to perform complex surgical procedures autonomously."
