AI surgeons will surpass human doctors within 18 months, FDA approval soon after

What was said

"Just last week there was the first gallbladder removed by robots using using the tools that that surgeons usually use. I think that it's probably going to be within the next 18 months. And and maybe an additional year for FDA approval and and stuff like that, but it's going to it's going to be very soon where people are going to start saying, 'Okay, robots have a, you know, one in a million error rate.' And every single time this procedure is done, that information goes to all the robots that are doing these procedures."

The host predicts AI surgical robots will become commercially viable within 18 months, with FDA approval following within a year. The claim follows recent successful robotic gallbladder removal using standard surgical tools. The key advantage cited is that robotic surgeries share data across all units, creating a collective experience base of hundreds of thousands of procedures versus individual human surgeons' limited experience.
