Verdict
While AI can assist with certain tasks, the role of a Surgical Physician Assistant heavily relies on interpersonal skills and complex decision-making that AI is unlikely to fully replicate in the next 5–10 years. The risk of AI substitution is moderate, primarily due to the need for human interaction and nuanced clinical judgment.
