    ROBOTS ARE STARTING TO MAKE DECISIONS IN THE OPERATING ROOM (11
    MINUTE READ) [10]

    Autonomous robots aren't being used to operate on people yet, but the technology is almost capable of such a feat and more autonomy is on
    the way. The technology could help hospitals meet the high demand for
    safety and consistency during surgeries, manage routine tasks, and
    prevent mistakes. Future robots will use AI to autonomously manage
    movements and decision-making during surgical tasks, reducing the need
    for constant human input. With the number of surgeons around the world declining while the number of people who need surgery continues to
    increase, the need for the technology is clear.

    VALVE CEO GABE NEWELL'S NEURALINK COMPETITOR IS EXPECTING ITS FIRST
    BRAIN CHIP THIS YEAR (3 MINUTE READ) [11]

    Starfish Neuroscience, a brain-computer interface startup
    incorporated by Valve co-founder and CEO Gabe Newell, plans to produce
    its very first brain chip later this year. The company is currently
    seeking collaborators to open up avenues for the technology.
    Starfish's goal is to create a smaller and less invasive implant than
    the competition that can enable simultaneous access to multiple brain
    regions. Details from the chip's current spec sheet are available in
    the article. The article also links to a video of a talk from Valve
    that explains how the technology could enhance gaming.
