The future of radiology and radiologists: AI is pivotal but not the only change afoot

Uncertainty regarding the future of radiologists is largely driven by the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). If AI succeeds, will radiologists continue to monopolize imaging services? As AI accuracy progresses with alacrity, radiology reads will be excellent. Some articles show that AI can make non-radiologists experts. However, eminent figures within AI development have expressed concerns over its possible adverse uses. Bad actors, not bad AI, may account for a future in which AI is not as successful as we might hope and, as some fear, even pernicious.
