Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 216 [What defeats you is not your peers but the rising value of cross-border businesses]

In the press conference room, Xiao Yu said on the stage: "The AI agent on this unmanned intelligent medical operating table has collected a huge amount of medical data. It is like a super surgeon with countless experiences. It can accurately analyze the surgical plan and complete difficult surgical operations with stability and precision that surpass human doctors."

"The success of this animal clinical trial is not only a major technical breakthrough, but also a huge breakthrough in human potential. The birth of this operating table means that in the future medical field, we will be able to perform surgeries more efficiently and safely."

"Especially in some high-risk and difficult surgeries, unmanned intelligent medical operating tables can reduce the possibility of human error." Xiao Yu said this, and he smiled and added: "Of course, it also means cheaper surgical costs, which can release more medical resources and bring incremental growth, so costs will naturally decrease, and the cost will of course be cheaper."

For the next period of time, the big screen at the press conference began to play a close-up of the first experimental smart medical operating table.

The overall shape of its exterior design is simple and technological, the main structure has smooth lines, and the surface has been specially treated to give it a smooth and subtle reflective texture. The shape of the operating table is similar to a matrix, and it also looks like a large capsule with a slightly raised middle part, giving a futuristic visual impact.

The operating table is surrounded by various sophisticated instruments and display screens.

These instruments have various shapes, some look like small robotic arms, while others are complex sensor arrays. The display screens are presented in simple geometric shapes, such as rectangles or ovals, and show various data and images, providing all-round information support for surgery.

In addition, the edge of the operating table is designed with a set of special transparent glass protective covers, which can prevent blood, body fluids, etc. from splashing during surgery, and also serve as an isolation function.

Finally, a reporter suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao, how can the safety of this unmanned surgery be guaranteed? Can surgical robots really completely replace human doctors? I think this is the most concerning issue for everyone, especially patients."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This kind of question was definitely expected. He immediately replied: "This is a good question, very representative. In the short term, machines will never be able to completely replace human doctors. The intuition of human doctors and their humanistic care for patients are difficult for any machine to do."

At this point, Xiao Yu changed the subject: "But in the long run, intelligent surgical robots will basically replace surgeons, especially those operations that require high precision and repetitiveness. High-intensity micron-level precision operations are a level that human doctors cannot achieve in their entire lives."

Xiao Yu immediately added emphatically: "It is certainly important for doctors to show concern for patients, but what is more important is the operation itself, which is to save lives and to reduce the cost of the operation. If a low-income person is sick and needs surgery, the cost of the operation is hundreds of thousands, and he simply cannot afford it. If he has no money for the operation, what is the point of showing concern for him? Will you pay for it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many netizens who were watching the live broadcast nodded in agreement. Most of them were from the lower class, and a serious illness that required surgery could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was a disease of the rich for them.

Obviously, everyone understood what Xiao Yu really wanted to express, which was to benefit more people through technological progress and innovation, so that more people can enjoy the dividends of scientific and technological progress.

To put it in practical terms, it means reducing the cost of surgeries, which currently cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that as many people as possible do not lose their lives due to poverty.

It’s hard not to get behind this, and the public can instantly empathize with it.

"In the next plan, we will conduct a large number of animal clinical experiments, including transplantation experiments on kidneys, livers and many other organs. Our goal is to make this unmanned intelligent medical operating table the most versatile surgical master, able to cover almost all surgical tasks in the world today, that is, the universalization of unmanned surgery."

Xiao Yu's voice resounded in the press conference room, and people from all walks of life were once again shocked. You know, no surgeon can be proficient in all surgical operations now. Doesn't that mean that in the future, the operating rooms of hospitals only need to purchase this kind of medical equipment?

At this time, a media person at the scene could not help but sigh and said: "I never thought that surgical doctors would also be replaced by robots. What defeated you is not your peers but the gold content of cross-border is still rising..."

At this moment, many people can relate to this statement. Many surgeons have learned the news through colleagues or other channels, and many doctors have also rushed to the live broadcast room of the press conference to watch.

As industry insiders, they were the most shocked, especially after watching the video of a heart transplant operation on a monkey without the participation of any human doctors. They found it unbelievable and immediately felt a huge sense of anxiety.

This is also human nature. After all, it must be unpleasant to think that your job will be replaced by robots in the foreseeable future.

Among those watching the live broadcast, there are many college students who have chosen surgery as their major. They are now the most anxious group. Some have even been discussing in some forums or chat groups whether to change their major.

With the speed at which technology develops, you might end up unemployed before you even finish your career.

The rapid development of science and technology has made many people feel amazed and powerless at the same time.

In fact, it is more than just a surgical profession. The rapid development of AI is now penetrating into all walks of life, and there are too many groups who feel anxious about this.

At the same time, Xiao Yu slowly said: "The great wave of scientific and technological progress and development is not affected by the will of a certain group or a certain person. This is the general trend, but surgeons will not lose their jobs because of an operating table. In the long run, doctors will still be a scarce position in the future, but their functions will be adjusted."

"In the future, human doctors will focus more on comprehensive patient assessments and treatment plan formulation, as well as innovative surgical knowledge. They will no longer need to perform surgery on patients in frontline operating rooms. This process can be completed by surgical robots."

Although this is what they say, everyone is still anxious. In fact, the core problem is that after learning so many things for so many years, it means investing huge sunk costs, which makes people feel unwilling and powerless.

But everyone also knows that the development trend of science and technology cannot be stopped by individuals, and they can only adapt to the changes of the times.

But the speed of development is a little too damn fast.
