Somebody has to annotate the data. Joking aside, I think for a lot of medical stuff the shift is already happening- there are less people going into certain fields (such as radiology) due in part to fear that it isn't a long term career. This is driving up radiology pay as the demand is outpacing the incoming supply. While I ultimately believe that most things are going to get automated, I do agree that in the short to medium term were going to see AI augmenting medical professionals rather than replacing them. This is just the natural progression of things- the technology can start off with the low hanging fruit and gradually take on more and more of the work. This provides immediate benefit while building funding and knowledge that can be used to take the next big step.
