One of the biggest areas of potential impact for AI is in health care, and there has been growing interest in understanding and evaluating how AI can affect different specialties across medicine. Although radiology and pathology have thus far been leading the charge in developing and adopting AI, other specialties are in hot pursuit. Surgery is one field with tremendous potential for disruption by AI. While there is no replacement for the formal study of a field through graduate education or research fellowships, we feel it is important for clinicians, educators, and researchers in surgery to gain an understanding of the fundamental topics, concepts, techniques, and considerations that go into research and development in AI in order to better understand its current abilities and future potential.
