I sure hope so!

Imagine we had an AI system that could monitor 38 different patient signals (from blood pressure electrical activity in the brain) during a surgery and give the surgeon warnings whenever these drifted out of the expected range. It feels plausible to me that using such a system might improve surgery outcomes by, say, 20%.

I would prefer to have a surgeon who used the AI assistant rather than a surgeon who chose not to.

Why should this be an AI system, and not just a software system?

You would also probably prefer a surgeon who forges ahead without it if the AI is down and you are going to die.
