I don’t bank on robots completing surgeries, especially complex ones, on their own anytime soon, not because they can’t, but because we would still want for someone like us to be taking that on… But there are a number of healthcare aspects that are going to be automated really soon. For example, the supercomputer Watson from IBM has a far more reliable track record of diagnosing lung cancer using MRI scans than real trained and educated people.
