Teleoperation is a method where surgeons use robots to do precise cutting and procedures. It helps ensure more steady hands and an approach to medicine that will improve the operation. It is also known as "remote control operation." However, some researchers in the AI field questioned its security, especially in ensuring that it is safe and effective for all.

According to Tech Crunch's report, a group from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow discovered in research that AI is not that secure and sure for all its processes. There are certain risks and factors that developers accept for their application of AI to different systems, and most of these are kept unchecked by the massive corporations.

The team's research published their results and discoveries regarding this, and AI is not entirely secure despite running on end-to-end encrypted channels where the sender communicates to the technology. One of its focuses is teleoperation which uses a remote control from one end and the robotic arms to perform the said process.

Ensuring that AI is Safe in Medicine and Others

The neural network of AIs that perform during these processes knows the operation 60 percent of the time and works on a systematized setup to ensure accuracy and precision. However, what about the remaining 40 percent?

A risky AI and accepting the unknown variable is dangerous for many processes and happenings when used for delicate procedures and essential operations in the application. Researchers keep a close eye on this and sees its flaws and detects other concerns.

AI and its Contribution to Medicine and Many More

Previously, users only used AI for computers and smartphones, which will help its systems focus on a more technical approach that will help the everyday people get assistance from their devices. Before that, Ai is only seen in massive corporations, and most of it is in the experimental stage for their systems to help humans in their everyday needs.

Now, AI is a massive focus on most developments globally, with the country looking at regulating its use and application.

Almost everything people touch now is powered by AI, from their handheld devices to computers, cars, televisions, home appliances, and other daily things that people use for convenience. There are many applications to AI, and it includes the medical field, where it helps in detection and complex operations that they do to save lives.

Artificial intelligence surrounds the world with all the promising technologies and features that may help in their daily lives, down to the most delicate things that need extra care. But who looks or keeps AI in check?

Here is what researchers offers to the world, especially as its growing use of it appears in industries like the medical field.
