How many times, looking in the mirror, some girls will not be satisfied with their image and think: who knows what it would be like to have the hot look of Salma Hayek and the sensual smile of Penelope Cruz? The answer is: nothing much, at least judging by the result obtained by the ‘morphing’ specialist, mixing the features of the two Latin beauties that are not disputed with digital effects. The result of their union is clearly the face of a beautiful woman, perfect on paper, but without the charm of either. How is this possible? And in an era of increasing artificial intelligence in medicine, will algorithmic tweaks run the same risk? The object of an aesthetic intervention must be to “eliminate defects” that create problems for patients “leaving the individuality, people, other characteristics of people – warn the plastic surgeon Paolo Santanchè in the formal Adnkronos Salute The perfect nose – he explains for example – there is no one nose that fits that face and that person.”
And it is precisely in this that the harms of AI can be hidden, which the expert wants to warn about. Retouches on the answer sheet with the precision of a machine to the canons of symmetry and the ideal of perfection, but ‘beautiful without soul’. “Of course, artificial intelligence in all fields, if used correctly, can bring help and benefits. It will be able to show the doctor with all the possible differential diagnoses of some symptoms and receive live is impossible to ignore or ignore. But in the field of cosmetic surgery I have doubts.”
To explain his thoughts, Santanchè took a leap back in time: “When I started my work in this field there were not even computers. The “masters of plastic surgery” taught us to take pictures of the patient, and to do example for rhinoplasty, then with a pencil a new nose has been drawn to show the person interested, but the nose drawn on the photo that the patient likes is not the right one for the patient too, fake, not good”. After the pencils come with “software that allows you to change images”, increasingly ideal and precise. But there is but, he warns: “Aesthetics is not a component only technology and science, but also art, which is fundamental. I will miss the soul of the artist”.
OTO of the eyes at risk? – This is therefore the expert’s fear: “I don’t like tools that seem to be mechanisms for convincing the patient to do something – Santanchè reasons – Those who turn to the surgeon do so because they have a problem that they want to solve, a defect with which they cannot manage to live together and this can happen to anyone, even moderate people, and who ask to have Brad Pitt’s nose rather than look like some actors, must be in the right direction which is not to satisfy we are doctors and our aim must be to cure the disorder.
Back to the promises of AI, asking the question of how it can be combined with plastic surgery is not far, considering that we are not talking about the distant future and some experiments have already been done. “Some time ago – said Santanchè – I have seen something surgical: someone took a photo of a world character considered beautiful, such as Brad Pitt or Sandra Bullock, and translated them to Artificial Intelligence to perfection them. Absolutely perfect face appears insignificant.” This is because, he analyzed, “beauty is not perfect. Beauty is the alchemy of a set of small defects that come together with such harmony to create even a pleasant, interesting result”.
THE MAN’S THING IS THE SCALPEL’S HOUSE – “And it is unlikely that AI, at least from what we see today, will be able to have a soul to understand this – warns Santanchè – There is a risk of flattening, balancing, creating perfect copies without a soul. people that is in front of him, he must see, talk to him, understand his character, what his eyes want to say asymmetrical, irregular exceptional result if we want to see the technical, medico-legal and insurance group, when the simulations correct the nose or breast it must be clearly stated that this is only an idea, which is impossible to represent the real result of the operation It is one thing to do things on the computer, it is another thing to do them with a pencil. ”
So – concludes Santanchè – if the surgeon, “instead of working to get an improvement in the situation, promises a specific result and then does not receive it, the patient can sue him. And the insurance will not pay”. The danger is therefore that the help of technology turns into dangerous shortcuts, and enemies of differentiation. “Instead you have to talk to the patient. You find an element of psychology and interpretation of your expectations that only a person with experience and patience can do.” With all due respect to the ‘robots’.
