🧠⚕️ Elon Musk says going to medical school may soon be pointless
Elon Musk believes traditional medical education is losing relevance — and AI is the reason.
According to Musk, artificial intelligence will soon outperform human doctors in diagnosing diseases, analyzing scans, and recommending treatments. He argues that AI systems already have access to far more medical data than any single doctor could ever study, and they don’t get tired, stressed, or make emotional mistakes.
In his view, the future of healthcare won’t depend on years of memorization and training, but on advanced AI tools guiding medical decisions — with humans playing more of a supporting role.
Supporters call it realistic.
Critics call it dangerous oversimplification.
Either way, it raises an uncomfortable question:
If AI becomes better than doctors… what happens to medical school as we know it? 👀🤖
