Tech billionaire Elon Musk has predicted that robots will outperform human surgeons by 2029, sparking widespread debate in the medical and technology communities.
Musk made the claim in a podcast while discussing advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.
He noted that surgical robots are already capable of performing tasks with precision beyond human hands.
He also cited the use of robots in his brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, where machines carry out delicate procedures impossible for humans.
While robotic systems currently assist surgeons rather than operate independently, Musk believes rapid AI development could soon change that.
However, many medical experts caution that human judgment and adaptability remain critical in surgery and may not be easily replaced.
For now, the bold prediction has left many observers watching closely — we dey wait.
