  1. This is bound to happen to any sort of job that involves visual classification of content. Well, it already happens for stuff like luggage, mail, faces in the latest cameras, and all sorts of industrial settings, so it's no wonder it'd eventually be employed in medicine. But the bit in the end of the video is perhaps most important. Due to liability and just better medicine practice, this is a tool for docs, not a replacement. It'll probably still cause some drastic changes around these jobs though. Radiologists and doctors will have to get trained or train themselves into identifying errors and problems in the AI analysis, and unfortunately tools that speeds up the jobs of certain categories tends to drag down their numbers or wages with it. This isn't only about radiology too... eventually, it'll also get adapted to stuff like reading blood tests, all sorts of other examinations, and even monitoring surgeries to help in whatever manner possible. I think it's both true that this might be a threat to some jobs or overall stability of those, as it is that we needs these advances regardless, not wanting to sound cruel. Thing is, this could greatly accelerate reach of modern medicine to places that still don't have good access to it. When you reduce obstacles for diagnostics down to having an Internet connected smartphone with a reasonable camera, some deep transformations can be achieved even in the poorest conditions.
