Elon Musk Says Robots Will Replace Surgeons In 5 Years

Benzinga

Elon Musk predicts that robots will outperform the best human surgeons within just 5 years, thanks to advances at Neuralink and other cutting-edge technologies. While machines are already performing highly precise brain surgeries, top surgeons argue that human instinct and adaptability still matter when things go wrong on the operating table. As robotic surgery evolves, outcomes are improving — but is it worth the risk?

00:00Elon Musk says robots will soon outperform the best human surgeons, and he's giving it just

00:04five years. At Neuralink, they already use machines to perform brain surgery, because some

00:09procedures are simply too precise for human hands. But not everyone's on board. Top surgeons are

00:15pushing back, saying humans aren't built like car parts. They argue surgery isn't just precision,

00:21it's instinct, adaptation, and judgment in real time. When things go wrong on the operating table,

00:26you need more than an algorithm. You need experience. You need a human. Still, the tech is

00:31evolving fast. Robot-assisted surgeries are increasing, outcomes are improving, and the

00:35machines aren't slowing down. So what do you think? Would you feel comfortable letting a robot do your

00:40surgery?
