About

Giulia Capelli is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and surgical ethics. Her research focuses on establishing frameworks for the responsible, trustworthy, and equitable deployment of AI in clinical surgery, with particular emphasis on hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) procedures. Dr. Capelli’s most impactful work, the 2023 white paper on ethics and trustworthiness of AI in clinical surgery (27 citations), represents a landmark consensus from the Artificial Intelligence Surgery task force, outlining critical ethical considerations for autonomous surgical systems. She further advanced this field through a targeted survey of the European-African HPB Association (6 citations), capturing real-world surgeon perspectives on AI trustworthiness. Notably, her 2021 statement on AI as a potential “great equalizer” in surgery, published with the Women-in-Surgery Italia group (3 citations), highlights her commitment to ensuring that technological progress promotes equity rather than disparity. Through these contributions, Dr. Capelli is shaping the ethical guardrails for a new era of digital surgery, making her work essential reading for anyone interested in the responsible integration of AI into operative medicine.
