Cover Picture: This white paper documents the consensus opinion of the expert members of the Editorial Board of Artificial Intelligence Surgery regarding the definitions of artificial intelligence and autonomy in regards to surgery and how the digital evolution of surgery is interrelated with the various forms of robotic-assisted surgery. It was derived from a series of video conference discussions, and the survey and results were subsequently revised and approved by all authors. The paper presents the results of an informal consensus of thought leaders in this emerging field and attempt to clarify some common misunderstandings by better defining the terminology surrounding both AI and robotics for surgeons as well as some pathways towards the future of this disruptive surgical innovation.
