Geoffrey Hinton predicted about a decade ago that AI would eliminate the need for radiologists. However, radiologists now use AI extensively and love it, but there are not fewer radiologists—they just do more of what they did before. They have better tools, and much of their work involves communication with patients and other caregivers that AI does not replace, demonstrating the error of assuming superhuman technology capability means expertise is dead.
