%X Introduction: Ultrafast latest developments in artificial
intelligence (¦¡¦©) have recently multiplied concerns regarding the future of
robotic autonomy in surgery. However, the literature on the topic is still
scarce. Aim: To test a novel AI commercially available tool for image analysis on a
series of laparoscopic scenes. Methods: The research tools included OPENAI CHATGPT 4.0 with its corresponding
image recognition plugin which was fed with a list of 100 laparoscopic selected
snapshots from common surgical procedures. In order to score reliability of
received responses from image-recognition bot, two corresponding scales were
developed ranging from 0 - 5. The set of images was
divided into two groups: unlabeled (Group A) and labeled (Group B), and
according to the type of surgical procedure or image resolution. Results: AI was
able to recognize correctly the context of surgical-related images in 97% of
its reports. For the labeled surgical pictures, the image-processing bot scored
3.95/5 (79%), whilst for the unlabeled, it scored 2.905/5 (58.1%). Phases of
the procedure were commented in detail, after all successful interpretations.
With rates 4 - 5/5, the chatbot was able to talk in
detail about the indications, contraindications, stages, instrumentation,
complications and outcome rates of the operation discussed. Conclusion: Interaction between surgeon and chatbot appears to be an
interesting frontend for further research by clinicians in parallel with
evolution of its complex underlying infrastructure. In
