Ian Thompson (Highly likely) says
They only use data for making decisions and if you use robots even the manual part is going to be replaced.

SAMSON OTUWA (No chance) says
As an anesthesiologist, I do not think anybody will trust a robot with their lives. A robot might be able to monitor the body's physiologic changes under anaesthesia, but responding to those changes requires not only experience but also an understanding of pharmacology and pharmacodynamics. A robot has to be a human to do that.
