This point–counterpoint analysis examined the role of artificial intelligence in surgical care, highlighting its potential to improve workflow efficiency, predictive analytics, and postoperative monitoring while also highlighting risks related to bias, validation gaps, and reliability. Although early evidence suggested gains in operative efficiency, complication reduction, and training, the researchers highlighted that widespread adoption requires rigorous validation, transparent governance, and ongoing oversight to ensure safe and equitable implementation.
