Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into neurosurgical practice represents one of the most transformative shifts in modern medicine. Artificial intelligence is not an inherent threat to neurosurgical practice — it is a powerful tool that, if governed appropriately, can enhance precision and outcomes beyond current capabilities. However, without consensus guidelines, transparent regulatory oversight, and rigorous clinical evidence, the adoption of AI in neurosurgery risks creating more questions than answers.
