About

Vincent Grasso is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and clinical surgery, where his work is defining the roadmap toward autonomous surgical systems. His research centers on computer vision, AI ethics, and the practical definitions of machine autonomy in the operating room. Grasso’s most influential work includes a landmark systematic review (53 citations) that critically examines how computer vision advances are enabling greater surgical autonomy, building on his earlier foundational work in the field. He has also spearheaded two essential white papers: one establishing consensus definitions for AI and autonomous actions in surgery (30 citations), and another addressing the ethics and trustworthiness of clinical AI (27 citations). These consensus documents, produced with the Editorial Board of *Artificial Intelligence Surgery*, have become touchstones for researchers and practitioners navigating the digital evolution of surgery. By bridging technical capability with ethical governance, Grasso is helping to ensure that the path to autonomous surgery is not only technologically sound but also responsible and trustworthy—a critical contribution as the field moves from theory toward clinical reality.
