AI Enters the Operating Room # Anesthesiology represents a unique frontier for artificial intelligence in medicine. The specialty’s foundation, continuous physiological monitoring with real-time decision-making, makes it particularly amenable to AI augmentation. From predictive algorithms that anticipate hypotension before it occurs to computer vision systems that guide regional anesthesia, AI is reshaping perioperative care. But with these advances come profound liability questions: When an AI system fails to predict a critical event that an experienced anesthesiologist might have anticipated, who is responsible?
