My mom is a radiologist nearing retirement and from the time we were old enough to seriously consider career paths she would tell us "Do not become a radiologist". As she tells it, the reason is outsourcing. Radiology is probably the single easiest medical field to outsource, and more and more of her office's work has been contracted out to doctors in India over time.
She doesn't consider AI as much of a threat... but I don't think she fully understands the leaps and bounds by which software is getting better at detecting patterns in images. As a software developer, I know that my field is still in its infancy. I wonder what it's like to look back on your profession, knowing your generation is the last of its kind.
