🏥 Experimental Gallbladder Surgery Performed by AI-Driven Surgical Robot at Johns Hopkins
AI just achieved a medical milestone: a DaVinci surgical robot powered by ChatGPT like AI performed a gallbladder removal on pig organs. The system, developed at Johns Hopkins, learned from surgical demonstrations and used advanced transformer models to adapt in real time no pre-programmed steps required.
Trained on hours of video and kinematic data, the robot handled the procedure with precision and a 100% success rate on new samples, matching expert surgeons in accuracy. It even improved with simple spoken feedback during surgery. Challenges with training data access remain, but with creative workarounds, researchers are moving closer to AI-driven operations on live tissue. This breakthrough signals how close we are to autonomous surgery and shows the potential of AI and human teamwork to redefine patient care.
🔑 5 Smart Pinterest Tips: Take Action Today and Get More Views Tomorrow!
1. Audit First, Don’t Add First
Before creating new pins or boards, review and optimize what you already have. Many existing pins are underperforming simply because they’re missing keyword rich titles, clear descriptions, alt text, or aren’t linked to relevant product pages.
🛠 “The best thing to do is go through what’s already here and make it better.”
2. Match Pinterest to Your AI SEO Strategy
Treat every editable Pinterest field (titles, board names, pin descriptions, image alt text) as a chance to embed keywords just like you would for on-site AI SEO.
💡 “It’s very similar to what you would do with AI SEO on a website.”
3. Build Boards Around Search Intent
Organize your boards not just by product category (e.g., vertical blinds, faux wood), but also by lifestyle or design aesthetics like “coastal living,” “minimalist home,” or “blinds for bay windows.” These resonate with Pinterest users’ actual search behavior.
🏠 “You could do living rooms, kitchens, minimalist blinds… as long as it’s a visual idea tied to a real trend.”
4. Use Pinterest Analytics + Trends for Content Ideas
Leverage Pinterest’s built-in analytics and audience insights to learn who is engaging and what they’re searching for. Use Pinterest Trends to discover high performing keywords (e.g., “zebra blinds,” “blinds for bay windows”) and align your pins accordingly.
📊 “This is where you can get ideas of what to pin about or what words to use.”
5. Update Links & Optimize for Conversion
Link your pins to the most relevant product or category page, not just your homepage or Instagram. This improves conversion tracking and user experience especially after claiming your site on Pinterest.
🔗 “Wouldn’t you rather them go to your homepage or somewhere they can find out more about these different types of blinds
