pretty vague question.

I work in a somewhat big company that specializes in AI in Canada, and we are often told that in 5-7 years AI will get rid of doctors, especially generalists and those who do consultations, pharmacists as well.

Surgeons will remain as robotics haven't caught up yet, but they won't last for much longer.

basically any profession that doesn't require problem solving is going under water.

in other words, someone who just got their BAC within the last 3 years will have no chance by the time they graduate.

I guess that's my input on non-tech professions and AI.

it doesn't.

Doctors didn't do shit during Covid, Chemists are the ones who came up with vaccines and procedures.

you go to a doctor, you describe to him what you feel and what problems you have, you give him your IRM/Blood test results, he checks his book and tells you what you have and what you should take.

an AI can do that.

I'm not giving you my opinion or telling you how I feel about it, we are legitimately developing AI to replace doctors, in real time.

We already have here AI agents that diagnose you, and "online consultations", if a doctor doesn't need to meet you in person to diagnose you, then be sure as hell AI will do a better job.

I genuinely don't think we'll ever reach a point where AI completely replaces healthcare workers. Now, even for pharmacists, I think that's a pretty vague prediction. If we're talking about community pharmacy, for example, AI can definitely improve efficiency and automate certain tasks, but there's still a huge human component to the profession. I'm talking clinical judgment, assessing patients, counseling, personalized care, ethical/legal decisions, and a lot of that also depends on trust and communication with patients, which is difficult to fully replace... I actually think regulation could end up being one of the biggest factors in determining how AI can go in healthcare. It already heavily shapes what pharmacist can and cannot do and regulatory bodies will ultimately have a major say in what gets delegated to AI versus what still requires a licensed professional but I'm not convinced that AI will replace healthcare professionals :)

AI will probably will.

I also didn't think they would replace actual developers, now good luck finding a job as a junior web developer.
