So the firehouse of announcements from AI companies are *always* about putting radiologists out on the breadline - not about needing *more* radiologists, who will get a new radiology tool that helps them work better, if a little more slowly.

Why don't the radiologists just x ray the whole patient at once. Are they stupid?

Then we *will* need to retask the dwindling supply of human radiologists to marking the chatbots' homework and hoping that they don't kill too many people by missing the chatbots' mistakes.

The pronouncements of AI companies aren't just marketing hype, they're attempts at self-fulfilling prophecy. If you convince all the would-be radiologists that the profession is about to be vaporized by chatbots, those people will not study radiology.

Centaur radiology requires *more* radiologists, not fewer. A centaur radiologist processes *fewer* X-rays (because sometimes the chatbot tells them to double-check a diagnosis) than an unassisted radiologist. LLM-assisted radiology improves *quality*, not *quantity*.

Amazingly, i gave exactly this example during a recent oresentation with debate. I also told the audience that, with the way healthcare financing goes, the second option was unfortunately quite likely if one believes "AI is better than radiologists".
But a chatbot that produces thousands of radiology reports for a single (reverse centaur) radiologist to approve at a velocity that precludes careful scrutiny is going to kill people.

Radiologists miss central airway nodules far too often, hitting just 39.5% sensitivity on unassisted low-dose CT reviews.
A new multicenter AI detection model raises radiologist sensitivity to 72.9% while cutting read times from 83.8s to 61.8s per scan.

AI cuts missed airway nodules on chest CT
Radiologists reading low-dose CT scans routinely miss small airway nodules, delaying critical lung cancer interventions.

I think ml/cv is great and I'm glad if radiologists can get good models to identify harmful stuff etc.

In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton said radiologists would stop reading scans within five years. Ten years on: cheaper scans meant more scans, not fewer radiologists. So when someone says "within five years", ask for the receipts. #AI

Radiologists, short-staffed despite Geoffrey Hinton's replacement prediction, launch Boring Radiology to build AI assistants for paperwork
Radiologists are swamped — they want AI to tackle paperwork, not take their jobs
Two radiologists founded a startup using AI to make radiologists more efficient and accurate, while relieving pressure rather than replacing them entirely.

TheAIGRID on Hinton walking back his 2016 claim that radiologists would be obsolete in five years. June 2026: cheaper AI raised scan volume instead of cutting jobs, and radiologists do more than read images. How confidently does industry forecast AI job loss?
