The gap between surgeons' awareness of AI and willingness to adopt is too big Hasan Asfour Discussion summary: ● A survey of surgeons at UHL NHS trust showed that although 72% believe AI can transform care, only 4% use AI daily ● Surgeons want to engage, but there is no clear pathway, limited support, no safe learning, and a generation gap to overcome ● A phased rollout by institutions would enable training and networking, experimentation, integration and optimisation Next steps: ● Systematic training programs, not ad-hoc awareness sessions
● Communities of practice, not isolated enthusiasts ● Safe experimentation, not premature deployment ● Senior engagement, not bypassing leadership ● Evidence generation, not blind adoption ● Available tools, not theoretical discussions
