Artificial intelligence is progressively being integrated into robotic surgical skills training, but its application remains in early development stages, limiting widespread uptake.

• A systematic review identified 36 studies utilizing AI in robotic training, with the Da Vinci Skills Simulator as the predominant platform.
• Key training tasks like suturing and needle passing were the focus, demonstrating AI’s potential in skills development and assessment.

Surgeons should be aware that while AI holds promise for improving training, obstacles like lack of standardization and formal integration still need to be addressed for effective implementation.
