>low level doctors (like radiology which is already widely outsourced)

lol, no. In my country, doctors have basically the strongest union possible, they decide who gets in/out and what tools get used so there's no way they'd let their jobs get automated or outsourced away. At best radiologists will use AI tools to improve their work but they'll still be in charge.

My fear is that after a while, just like with people having crashes from leaving autopilot in charge without constant supervision, radiologists will get sloppy/lazy and just rubber-stamp every diagnostic the AI gives them on autopilot, without checking for themselves, and we'll end up with more fake positives/negatives and people's lives ruined.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

The patient ultimately sanity checks doctor recommendations. The referring clinician sanity checks the radiologist. The primary care sanity checks the referring clinician. Medicare sanity checks the bills. there are checks and balances. radiologists are the most tech savvy of the docs. And there are only about a 1000 / year new ones. I think we will be fine.
