Real-time AI acts as surgical co-pilot in first brain-tumor operation

The world’s first brain-tumor removal was performed with real-time AI assistance that analyzes the live operation to highlight vessels and nerves, guiding surgeons while they retain control. Rhys Hibbert’s tumor near the pituitary gland was removed, preserving vision and energy. The AI tool, funded by NIHR and Google, aims to become an in-the-room surgical advisor, with broader trials planned as researchers push toward a ChatGPT-like helper for surgeons.

Study finds ChatGPT Health under-triages about half of emergencies

A Nature Medicine study tested ChatGPT Health with 60 real-life medical scenarios and found it under-triaged 51.6% of emergencies and over-triaged 64.8% of non-urgent cases, with some life-threatening events misclassified, though stroke was correctly triaged 100%. OpenAI says ChatGPT Health isn’t designed for diagnosis and emphasizes clinician involvement; researchers urge more rigorous testing before wider use.
