- analog31 10y agoAh, but those jobs are being eaten away by automation, even if it's happening slowly. Cleaning ladies are being displaced by disposable products that don't need to be cleaned. Plumbers and electricians are being displaced by labor saving technologies. A new house contains no copper tubing or sweat fittings -- they use flexible hose and swaged connections. Wiring is no longer done with hard conduit. Framing is done with machine made components such as roof trusses. Inspection is done by bribery. ;-)
- ThomPete 10y agoSure but before that ex. radiologist will have been replaced.
- analog31 10y agoAh, yes, but the person who owns the AI radiology business, and the equipment, will happen to be a radiologist.
- ThomPete 10y agoNo they wont. In fact they aren't today so why should they be in the future. And furthermore you need only very few people running a whole radiology business for billions of people.
- analog31 10y agoMaybe radiology is an exception (or my understanding is outdated), but from what I've read, a large portion of the medical industry is doctor-owned. For instance I've read that doctors provide a large portion of the investment pool for big ticket diagnostic equipment, and for businesses such as clinics, provider systems, and malpractice insurance companies. "The workers own the means of production." ;-)
- ThomPete 10y agoDoctor owned not doctors owned. The point is that you don't need the amount of radiologist you are currently education if pattern recognition gets done by machines.
