AI can play a key role in the development of state-of-the-art training techniques for surgery, according to new findings published in PLOS One. The study’s authors used virtual reality (VR) technology and advanced machine learning techniques to develop both a simulation-based training system for surgeons and an automated feedback system called the Virtual Operative Assistant.
One consistent criticism of AI algorithms is that it can be unclear how, exactly, they reach their conclusions, creating a “black box” effect that leads to confusion and skepticism.
“This is problematic in the context of education because transparency and trust are vital components of ensuring a successful connection between teacher and learner,” wrote lead author Nykan Mirchi, McGill University in Quebec, Canada, and colleagues....
