GODFATHER OF AI ADMITS HE WAS WRONG ABOUT RADIOLOGISTS geoffrey hinton predicted in 2016 that within about 5 years radiologists wouldnt be reading scans anymore 10 years later he gives two reasons he got it wrong first, making scans cheaper and faster didnt mean hospitals suddenly needed fewer radiologists. it meant they could just do more scans and second, he admits he didnt really understand the job itself his picture of a radiologist came mostly from one former student who spent his time reading scans and barely talking to people the AI part actually went pretty close to plan. machines got really good at reading scans but making one part of a job cheaper doesnt automatically make the whole job disappear AI can shrink a task without shrinking the job
