AI and robotics are definitely starting to make an impact in anesthesiology, but not in a way that replaces anesthesiologists — at least not anytime soon. Instead, they’re becoming powerful tools to assist with precision, monitoring, and risk prediction. For example, AI can help analyze vital signs in real-time to adjust drug dosages more safely, or flag when a patient is trending toward instability during surgery.
Anesthesiologists still bring critical judgment, intuition, and quick decision-making in high-stakes environments — things AI isn't close to mastering. That said, the field could benefit a lot by embracing AI: improving patient outcomes, reducing human error, and streamlining routine tasks. So rather than seeing AI as a threat, I think anesthesiologists who work alongside these tools will become even more effective.
