The Double Edged Scalpel: How AI Assisted Surgery Puts Patient Safety First The recent operation on Rhys Hibbert, the world's first patient to undergo live AI assisted brain surgery, has sparked both awe and trepidation.

The AI tool used in Hibbert's surgery was trained on hundreds of videos of pituitary tumour removals, allowing it to recognize hidden vessels and nerves with unprecedented accuracy.
