Musk wrote on his Twitter that 'robots will surpass good surgeons in a few years and the best surgeons in about five years'.

He also noted that his company Neuralink had to use robots to implant electrodes in the brain, as human hands cannot perform such operations due to speed and accuracy.

A few years ago, Bill Gates predicted that within 10 years artificial intelligence would replace many medical workers and teachers.

It is worth noting that Musk announced the creation of an army of robots. By the end of 2025, the release of 5,000 Optimus robots is planned.

The CEO of Tesla and head of the U.S. Department of State Efficiency Elon Musk also stated that starting in May, he would focus less on the administration of Donald Trump and more on managing his company.

Analysis:

The news discusses how robots in medicine have managed to outperform surgeons in performing operations. This is confirmed by the words of the head of the U.S. Department of State Efficiency Elon Musk. He also talked about the use of robots by Neuralink to implant electrodes in the brain. Such operations require high speed and accuracy, which human hands cannot provide. The previous prediction by Bill Gates that artificial intelligence would replace many medical workers and teachers also supports this trend.
