I asked him what he thought about ChatGPT. In 2016, for instance, the artificial intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton considered new 'deep learning' technology capable of reading medical images. He concluded that 'if you work as a radiologist, you are like the coyote that’s already over the edge of the cliff but hasn’t yet looked down. Some jobs may go away, but others will have portions of their duties made easier or eliminated all together. A human will likely double check what the AI has detected and then "the human" will need to communicate as only humans can, with empathy, to someone needing information about the diagnosis.
