Respectfully, it doesn't matter what you expect or think. What matters is this:
- If the law allows AI to replace you.
- If the hospital/company thinks [AI cost + AI-caused law suits] will be less expensive that [your salary + law suites caused by you].
I'm almost in the same situation as you are. I have 22 years left until retirement and I'm thinking I should change my career before I'm too old to do it.
- candiddevmike 1y agoWhat career would you change to that would be safe, given the conditions you provided and your time horizon?

- jerf 1y agoThe original author of the paper about the technological singularity [1] defines it as simply the point where predictions break down. If AI gets to the point where it is truly replacing radiologists and programmers wholesale, it is difficult to tell anyone what to do about it today, because that's essentially on the other side of the singularity from here. Who knows what the answer will be? (Ironically, the author of that paper, being also a science fiction author, is also responsible for morphing the singularity into "the rapture for nerds" in his own sci-fi writing. But I find the original paper's definition to have more utility in the current world.)

- LPisGood 1y agoI think that if AI can replace software engineers then AI can replace any job because the domain of software engineering is pretty much everything.
- FeteCommuniste 1y agoI don't think robotics is progressing at nearly the same pace as AI so for a while there will still be a bunch of manual labor for us to fight over. :-)
- tintor 1y agoNot really. AI advances are boosting progress in robotics. Many US and China robot companies are developing general androids.

- M95D 1y agoPlumber, car mechanic, something that human hands can do but robots can't.
- seesthruya 1y agoI agree with you fully. And, I didn't say I would never be replaced. I said I would finish my career, which is approximately 10 more years at this point.
- dang 1y ago> it doesn't matter what you expect or think Can you please edit out swipes like that from your HN posts? (Prepending "respectfully" doesn't help much.)
