[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the WSJ AI Conference:

Earlier Tuesday, Vinod Khosla, a prominent venture capitalist whose firm was one of OpenAI’s earliest backers, laid out a stark timeline for AI’s transformation of work. Within 10 years AI will be able to “[b]do 80% of 80% of all jobs that we know of today[/b],” said Khosla, a tech investor and entrepreneur for more than 40 years.

He pointed to many types of physicians and accountants as examples of professions that AI could largely supplant because these systems can more easily access a broad array of knowledge. Khosla likened the extent of the workforce changes to the disappearance of agricultural jobs in the U.S. in the 20th Century—a transition that took place over generations, not years. [/quote]

Would it reduce the need for anesthesiologists? [/quote]

I would like to know as well since my niece became one 3 years ago.

I would absolutely think it will since their work can be automated, although anyone involved with an actual operation is likely a bit more secure for the time being.

Radiologists, clinicians, general physicians, etc.  anyone not involved in surgery will be impacted first, but eventually even more precise AI-powered machines could replace human doctors in the operating room.  It won't replace them all, but [b]where you might now hire 10, you will now only need 3 to have a human at the "controls" to step in if needed.[/b]

Which, given the shortage of doctors and space in med schools + an aging population, is a good thing.  We're already seeing things like rural areas only having doctors via telemedicine where the local nurse or PA does the basics and brings in the doctor via teleconference as needed.[/quote]

Yea and outcomes for these people are worse than ever. [/quote]
