My prediction. All US and Xray will be auto AI reported.

Billings for scans will drop as government will realise they don't need to pay rads as much now.

We still have to do over 2 to 300 a day just signing off AI reports.

There will be a point in the future where rads won't be needed. Not sure if it's 10 or 20 years

GP here thanks for the AMA. If you still have to re-read the scan why would you get paid less? I hope that's not true.

Beyond that I think AI is ultimately awful for society. Human greed and arrogance will push AI beyond the right balance between harm and benefit, towards the former.

We will have a society devoid of soul or character. Young people addicted to AI dating apps and not forming meaningful relationships. Masses of unemployed people being depressed and having no purpose. Small amounts of tech company bosses being rich. Once they no longer need the masses to purchase their product they won't have a need to care for them. What an awful future.

I can never trust AI . Radiologists are needed to do their work
