Debate: AI, Robotics, and Reality in Spine Surgery: Who Wins in the OR

1. If you could implement only one technology in your OR today, which would it be—and why?
2. Which of these technologies is most ready for routine clinical use in spine surgery?
3. Is surgeon training more enhanced by simulation-based reality tools or robotic-assisted procedures?
4. Will AI eventually replace some of the critical roles currently held by spine surgeons?
5. How do we ensure patient safety and data privacy while adopting these technologies?
6. Which technology will most transform spine surgery education and resident training?
