The question of radiology obsolescence is really a question about the future of white-collar work itself—any profession rooted in human knowledge, analysis, or judgment. If that’s the concern, maybe the safest advice isn’t “don’t be a radiologist,” but “enter a trade or own an experiential business such as a resort.” Though even those may not be safe forever. Perhaps the best hedge is owning power plants. The takeaway is this: if you’re young and worried about radiology, you should probably be worried about nearly every other career resting on human judgement too. Radiology may be in the spotlight, but if AI replaces us, we certainly won’t be the only ones.
