Geoffrey Hinton said stop training radiologists in 2016. He was wrong. Here's what AI actually changed.
In 2016, Geoffrey Hinton publicly told med students to stop training as radiologists. A decade later, the U.S. has a radiologist SHORTAGE — there are ~38,000 working radiologists and demand is growing 5% a year. AI did not replace them; it added a tool that scans every image first and flags the worrying ones, letting a single radiologist read 30-40% more studies per day. The lesson for any career: AI usually multiplies skilled workers before it replaces them.
