About

Diana Michele is a pioneering force at the intersection of artificial intelligence and surgical innovation, with her research primarily centered on establishing foundational definitions and frameworks for AI-driven surgery, surgomics, and robotics. Her most notable contribution is leading the "AIONS Consensus Conference on Definitions of Artificial Intelligence Surgery, Surgomics and Robotics" (2026), a landmark collaborative effort that brought together the Editorial Board of *Artificial Intelligence Surgery* and the Artificial Intelligence Organization for the Next Generation of Surgeons (AIONS). Through iterative drafting that began in February 2025, this consensus statement created a standardized lexicon for the field, providing clarity and direction for researchers and clinicians navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in the operating room. While still early in her career, with 6 citations to this seminal work, Michele’s impact is already profound—her definitions are poised to shape how future generations understand and advance surgical robotics and data-driven surgical analysis. By unifying terminology across disciplines, she has laid the critical groundwork for reproducible research and global collaboration in surgomics, positioning herself as a key architect of the next surgical revolution.
