ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SURGERY AND SURGICAL EDUCATION

Modern surgery has undergone an impressive evolution due to advancements in fundamental research, anesthesia, diagnostic tools, genetics, immunology, pharmacology, and especially artificial intelligence (AI).AI is defined as "the study of computations that enable a machine to perceive, reason, and act."In 1950, Alan Turing described intelligent behavior in computers as the ability to achieve human-level performance in cognitive tasks.Over the past 20 years, interest in AI in the medical field has significantly increased, leading to a true revolution and high expectations.Modern medicine faces the challenge of acquiring, analyzing, and storing large amounts of information needed to solve complex clinical problems.The development of AI-based medical programs generally aims to formulate diagnoses, make therapeutic decisions, and predict outcomes.AI tools are designed to support the medical team in their daily tasks by processing data efficiently.This major progress has been made possible by the convergence of four key factors:1. Large databases 2.
