Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the disruptive technologies of the fourth Industrial Revolution that is changing our work practices. This technology is in use in highly diverse industries including health care, defence, insurance and e-commerce. This review focuses on the relevance of AI to surgery. ⋯ This relates to the ramifications for the adoption of AI technology in clinical practice, and its subsequent public funding support and reimbursement.
