Robot Anesthesiologists Lose Their Jobs Because of Humans. Monitoring anesthesia in surgery is one of the most important aspects of every procedure. Could computers do the job better? Apparently, it doesn't matter. Even though the robots programmed to monitor anesthesia in surgery cost 1/10 of humans, the project is being abandoned because it wasn't financially viable. Not enough hospitals bought them. Is this human prejudice? What about robot lawyers? If you were in high stakes litigation, would you trust a robot advocate? Didn't think so. I have written about the fact that robots may be used increasingly to enhance humans in performing their jobs, including lawyers; but, I suspect that human nature and prejudice will doom robots programmed to do jobs that require judgment and experience. It's only human.
