Studying Medicine Is Useless? What Elon Musk Said?

On one hand, the revolution of artificial intelligence has already resulted in the plotting of software industry as humans are being replaced by AI at an alarming rate. On the other hand, it is established that even post graduate studies like PhD and doctorate or not going to stand they might of AI.

The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has once again stirred global debate with a bold statement about the future of medicine. According to Musk, studying medicine today may eventually become “useless” as artificial intelligence and advanced robots are rapidly evolving to outperform even the most skilled human surgeons.

He argues that AI powered surgical systems are already demonstrating extraordinary precision, consistency, and data driven decision making that humans simply cannot match.

Unlike doctors, machines do not suffer from fatigue, emotional stress, or physical limitations. With access to millions of medical records, real time analytics, and continuous learning models, AI could soon diagnose diseases earlier and perform complex surgeries with near perfect accuracy.

Musk believes that in the long run, robotic systems will not just assist doctors but potentially replace them in operating rooms. He suggests that the medical field will transform dramatically, shifting from human centered procedures to technology driven healthcare solutions.

However, many experts counter that empathy, ethical judgment, and human connection remain irreplaceable aspects of medicine. While AI may revolutionize healthcare, the debate continues on whether it can truly replace the human touch that defines the profession.
