because robots are most likely to make mistakes and kill people

Too complicated to make a robot that can do many surgeries. Too risky to put a robot in healthcare.

Too many regulations in the medical industry

There are already robots that have been developed for surgery, and using robots instead of humans can allow for way more precision

You need the interaction between the doctor and patient to read the body language and emphasise with him and have a perception about the pain

Surgeons won't be automated for a long time. Also, do you really think people would trust a robot? I sure wouldn't. All it takes is one malfunction or software error and you're finished.

well, do you think humans don't have errors and make mistakes? Do you even understand how AI and robotics work? Doesn't sound like it.

I mean, all it takes is one slip of the hand for you to be finished as well. In the future, I don't see why AI would be less accurate than humans, as they don't have to account for human error. Surgery having a 0% automation risk is ludicrous. Of course you wouldn't trust it right now since AI is still in it's infancy age, but it will get far better than we could possibly imagine.

We already have startups like Star, which want to automate and democratize surgeries. Even though we aren't there yet, I think that automated surgery can increase surgery quality while driving down prices.

I wouldn't lend much credence to that. Even if automated surgery were an option it would still require extensive supervision from actual surgeons. Surgeries are volatile endeavors involving volatile individuals. Possibilities that robots alone won't be able to account for at least for decades to come.
