"Hospitals, law firms, and tech companies are getting a preview of how AI is likely to reshape work: by automating tasks without eliminating the underlying jobs. That's the core message Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized in a recent appearance on the No Priors podcast. In a wide-ranging interview, he argued that fears of mass job destruction often confuse the "tasks" involved in a job with the broader "purpose" of the role."
"Years ago, AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton predicted that AI would eradicate many radiology jobs and advised students to avoid the field. The opposite happened. While AI is automating many radiology tasks, there are actually more radiologists employed now than when Hinton made his prediction in 2016. Here are the killer stats, shared in this 2025 blog post that describes why radiologists are still in huge demand:"
AI automates repeatable tasks while preserving the broader purpose of many jobs, changing how work gets done but not eliminating roles. Hospitals, law firms, and technology companies are experiencing task automation that leaves outcome-focused responsibilities intact. Radiology provides a clear example: automation has streamlined many diagnostic tasks, yet radiologist employment and residency positions rose since 2016. In 2025, American diagnostic radiology residency programs offered a record 1,208 positions, a 4% increase from 2024, and vacancy rates reached all-time highs. Radiology ranked as the second-highest-paid medical specialty in 2025 with an average income of $520,000, about 48% higher than in 2015. The pattern suggests AI may increase demand for professionals who oversee and deliver core job purposes.
