British Rhys Hibbert, 48, became the first patient in the world to undergo brain surgery with real-time artificial intelligence assistance. The procedure, performed at University College London Hospital in the United Kingdom, featured an AI tool capable of analyzing images during the operation and identifying the location of important blood vessels and nerves in the brain. The goal was to remove as much of the tumor as safely as possible, preventing Hibbert from losing his vision. Father of two children and a customer service manager, he was healthy before the diagnosis.
