Artificial intelligence could revolutionize surgical education by providing personalized feedback, improved competency evaluations, and enhanced candidate selection. AI-driven simulations foster adaptive learning among trainees, while intraoperative tools may assist surgeons in complex procedures. However, challenges such as data quality, ethical concerns, and the risk of overskilling need to be addressed. Developing regulatory frameworks emphasizing transparency and validation is crucial to ensure responsible AI integration, enhancing rather than replacing human expertise in surgical practice.
