It's not the same. The medical profession is highly credentialized and regulated with several moats giving them insane bargaining power on who gets to decide what.

Pretty sure radiologists have their jobs secured for life regardless of the progress of AI image recognition. At least in Europe.

Most likely AI will be used as a tool, but the radiologist will have to sign off on the final verdict/diagnosis.

This is very true, but regulation/moats can’t stop progress indefinitely, and I think deep down even medical professionals understand this, which is why he reacted the way he did.

I could tell he was personally offended by the fact that some young computer nerd who knows nothing about medicine, can even suggest the idea that his decades worth of experience aren’t as good as a computer program.
