Elon Musk believes AI could transform medicine so dramatically that today's model of medical education may eventually look outdated. His argument is that becoming a highly skilled doctor currently takes many years, costs a significant amount of money, and still leaves physicians trying to keep up with an ever-growing body of medical knowledge. Musk predicts that AI systems, combined with humanoid robots like Optimus, could eventually perform surgeries with greater precision and consistency than even the best human surgeons. He also believes that if those systems can be deployed at scale, high-quality healthcare could become far more affordable and accessible than it is today. Whether that future arrives as quickly as Musk predicts remains uncertain, and most medical experts expect AI to augment doctors rather than replace them entirely. But his broader point reflects a growing trend: as AI becomes more capable, even professions once considered untouchable are being reimagined. • Follow @meteoric.ai for more content on AI and technology. #ai #elonmusk #healthcare #technology #future
