Are any of you CRNAs concerned about the potential for automated Anesthesia?

Here is the article https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/new-machine-could-one-day-replace-anesthesiologists/2015/05/11/92e8a42c-f424-11e4-b2f3-af5479e6bbdd_story.html .

As an aspiring CRNA, I am rather concerned about the potential for machines replacing CRNA jobs. I am still about 5 years away from potential graduation from a CRNA school, and wonder how realistic a robot replacing the job of a CRNA actually is.

What do you all think?

Not for a while but sometime in the future yeah. Not likely for any of us to worry about yet though. I mean have you seen the computer try to interpret an ekg lol?
