Is Radiologists a safe career from AI?

Radiologists scores 80 out of 100 for AI exposure, which is high. A large share of this work is the kind current AI systems are measurably good at. That is not a prediction the job disappears, and the research does not support one. It means more of this role is likely to change than most.

Its human advantage score is 36, which is low. Most of this role can be done through a screen, and that is the half of the labor market AI has reached first. Market demand scores 56 out of 100, combining how many of these jobs exist with where that number is heading. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment roughly flat over ten years.
