In May earlier this year, the New York Times had a similar article about AI not replacing radiologists: https://archive.is/cw1Zt
It has similar insights, and good comments from doctors and from Hinton:
“It can augment, assist and quantify, but I am not in a place where I give up interpretive conclusions to the technology.”
“Five years from now, it will be malpractice not to use A.I.,” he said. “But it will be humans and A.I. working together.”
Dr. Hinton agrees. In retrospect, he believes he spoke too broadly in 2016, he said in an email. He didn’t make clear that he was speaking purely about image analysis, and was wrong on timing but not the direction, he added.
