Show this to anyone claiming AI won't steal jobs... (From a Chambers post I made)

I work in the medical imaging field and the company I work for is a third-party read service, we have radiologists that read studies from around the world, we get cases fed to us through Electronic Medical Record, (EMR) systems so it’s not the normal way a radiology group operates, which usually get studies through a PAC system (Picture Archiving and Communication) <br><br>But the thing is we don’t interact with patients face-to-face, it’s all done through email and through patients contact through a third-party app which we use to communicate with patients. These days, our work can be automated and it’s being done to a degree and will be fully automated. There is a company called DeepSight that is basically using ChatGPT and nurses to do the work.<br><br>I’ll give you an example. Not too long ago, a client from India signed up with us and we lost one of our biggest clients and for them, they had to switch over to DeepSight. Their director of business told us that she was talking to their medical director and he was talking to the director of DeepSight and the director of DeepSight told her that they could basically automate 90% of their work and it’s a work in progress, they are hiring 1,000 nurses to start. 90% of the work would be automated and the 10% that’s left they will have nurses and medical directors to help with that. It’s not like you need medical directors for 10%, it’s more like that 10% of the work is a little more complicated and requires more human intervention.<br><br>What’s the difference? For us, you need to have an MD and a radiology degree. For DeepSight, you need to have an MD degree or a nurse degree and then your supervisor needs to have an MD and radiology degree, but DeepSight doesn’t need to have 100 radiologists working. They can just have 3 or 4 radiologists and 500 nurses and they are set to go, and they don’t even need to hire radiologists. If you can have a nurse do the job why would you hire a radiologist? It’s cheaper, nurses get paid around $100k-200k and radiologists get paid more than that, up to $600k even.
