A Hong Kong-based research centre under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool to assist in complex brain surgery, even as the healthcare industry deals with an inadequate number of specialised databases for this procedure.

The Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), the Hong Kong branch of mainland China’s national research institute, on Monday unveiled the CARES Copilot 1.0 AI model to help neurosurgeons provide “more efficient clinical diagnosis and to make better medical judgments based on sufficient references”, said Liu Hongbin, the centre’s executive director, in an interview with the South China Morning Post.
