Robotics and AI in Surgical Procedures

Nurah Ibrahem Alhmed

Abstract: This report explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous robotic surgery, focusing on ethical, regulatory, and legal issues, including civil law, international law, tort law, liability, medical malpractice, privacy, and product/device legislation. Through an extensive review of literature on current and emerging AI technologies in various sectors such as vehicles, military, and medical technologies, including surgical robots, we examine relevant frameworks, standards, and global cybersecurity and legal systems. The discussion emphasizes unique challenges in robotic surgery, particularly related to Explainable AI and machine learning "black box" nature. We categorize responsibility into Accountability, Liability, and Culpability, with the latter remaining ambiguous due to technological limitations. We foresee a future where surgical robots perform routine tasks under human supervision, akin to autonomously driven vehicles, with a doctor-in-the-loop model ensuring patient safety. Recommendations are provided for developing and refining relevant frameworks and standards to address these challenges.
