Radiology jobs rose 39% in the 10 years since #AI Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton predicted its end in 5:

"Let me start with the obvious: if you are a radiologist you're like the coyote that's already over the edge of the cliff but hasn't looked down yet; people should stop training Radiologists now. Within 5 years deep learning is going to do better than Radiologists. It might be 10 years but we got plenty of Radiologists already." --Geoff Hinton, Nov 24, 2016, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HMPRXstSvQ&t=13s

@buermann it seems that cost of radiology exams dropped, simulating demand. Both for the scans and the radiologists (who became more productive) . Quite a complicated relationship between technology and employment.

I'm mostly tickled by how it is Artificial Intelligence's biggest hype men who constantly commit the ostensible "Luddite's fallacy", itself falsely ascribed but a fallacy nevertheless.
