Q. I’m a Frum surgeon that performs delicate medical operations. Could you kindly ask Horav Miller the following; can I partake according the Halacha in an operation in which I’m assisted by an AI (artificial Intelligence) controlled computer-manipulated surgical robotic devices, that are usually more accurate than the human hand. Can we rely on AI when dealing with human lives?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if the health government institutions permit them you may use them. The reason being that since they are responsible for severe compensation payments if they fail, they are therefore careful and exact in their authorization.
