    Why not, but I'm afraid it will be too expensive for most of the people. But the idea to provide a robot with AI and let it learn the world knowledge of surgery (or any other field) and then use only the best experiences seems very promising.

    I'd be open to it, all the knowledge of the surgeon with the precision of a machine, sounds safer than the stereotypical surgery. Also seems like the logical next step with how much we are already incorporating technology into current surgical procedures.
