ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been swiftly progressing, reshaping the landscape of medical practice. Its influence on surgery has been substantial, making it an essential component in planning, training, and procedural environments. The diverse range of AI software profoundly impacts medical ethics and relevant legal frameworks. This essay’s core objective is to thoroughly investigate AI from both ethical and legal perspectives. By focusing on the domain of gastrointestinal surgery, it aims to highlight AI’s transformative potential while proposing suitable solutions and preventative measures. Recognizing ethical dilemmas is critical due to concerns about AI technology implications. With AI’s growing role in diagnostics and surgery, dialogue on these issues is vital. It’s important to assess the evolving legal context, especially EU regulations, and to remain aware of legal risks and penalties.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Ethical consideration; Legal consideration; Gastrointestinal surgery
