In the era of Artificial Intelligence emerging rapidly the world believes robots could replace humans in many fields of work, a disaster by a surgical robot reportedly claimed a life in the US.

A man filed a lawsuit against a medical manufacturer claiming that its surgical robot burned a hole in his wife’s organs while conducting surgery to treat her colon cancer, which led to her death. The lawsuit states that the robot burned a hole in her small intestine.

Sandra Sultzer’s husband Harvey Sultzer filed a complaint against the surgical procedure performed in September 2021. He filed the lawsuit on February 6th, 2024. The surgery was performed by a multi-armed, remote-controlled da Vinci robot.
