"The Robot Will See You Now" - Consequences of Automation - Westernston

If you thought your profession, trade or job is safe from the inevitable onslaught of AI and robots… from the consequences of automation… think again. Because surgeons surely will have to. Scientists have revealed a robotic drill that can cut the most sensitive brain surgery down from two hours to two and a half minutes. The machine, developed at the University of Utah, is being hailed as a potential breakthrough in survival for brain patients as the reduced time they spend in surgery will drastically cut the chances of infection. Researchers say can make one type of complex cranial surgery 50 times faster than standard procedures.
