About

Sharona Ross stands at the forefront of an emerging and transformative field at the intersection of surgery and artificial intelligence. As a key contributor to the AIONS Consensus Conference on Definitions of Artificial Intelligence Surgery, Surgomics, and Robotics, Ross has played a pivotal role in shaping the very language and conceptual framework that will define next-generation surgical practice. This landmark consensus statement, developed collaboratively with the Editorial Board of *Artificial Intelligence Surgery* and the Artificial Intelligence Organization for the Next Generation of Surgeons (AIONS), represents a foundational effort to standardize terminology across a rapidly evolving discipline — a critical step in enabling rigorous research, education, and clinical implementation worldwide. Though her published record in this emerging domain is still accumulating citations, the significance of her work lies not in volume but in vision. By helping establish consensus definitions at the ground level of a paradigm shift in surgery, Ross has positioned herself as a thought leader whose contributions will likely underpin countless future studies. For students and researchers entering the fields of surgical robotics, AI-assisted procedures, or surgomics, engaging with Ross's work offers an essential starting point for understanding where modern surgery is headed.
