Abstract
Two recent studies in surgical AI video analysis show divergent outcomes based on user expertise and AI explainability. While both demonstrate improved accuracy with AI-assistance, differences in trust and transparency critically shaped impact. This commentary explores human-computer interaction factors such as trust, usability, and explainability, and argues for structured evaluation frameworks to ensure effective, safe integration of AI into surgical practice.
