Elon Musk says humans must become cyborgs to stay relevant. Is he right?

Sophisticated artificial intelligence will make 'house cats' of humans, claims the entrepreneur, but his grand vision for mind-controlled tech may be a long way off

Humans must become cyborgs if they are to stay relevant in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. That was the warning from Tesla founder Elon Musk, speaking at an event in Dubai this weekend.

Musk argued that as artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated, it will lead to mass unemployment. "There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot can't do better," he said at the World Government Summit.
