AI won’t replace radiologists, but will dramatically change their jobs
Ten years ago, a pioneering AI scientist predicted that computers would replace human experts as readers of medical images. It hasn’t exactly worked out that way. In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel-winning “godfather of AI,” predicted that radiologists — the physicians who read X-rays, ultrasounds and other images to help make medical diagnoses — would find themselves replaced by computers within five years. Today the field can retort by quoting Mark Twain’s famous quip: The report of my death was an exaggeration. Radiology’s ranks are in fact growing steadily, with the number of practitioners expected to expand by 26 percent or more over the next three decades. But what Hinton may have...

That contradiction is the starting point for this essay. Fauci matters not only because of his individual conduct, but because he exposes the institutions that produced, empowered, and continue to protect him. The pandemic did not create the dysfunction inside biomedical science. It placed a magnifying...
