Eric Siu explains how AI will displace some jobs while creating others. Radiologists who only read X-rays are at risk, but those who connect, inspire, and educate can use AI as a tool. The key is adapting so AI works for you instead of against you.

If you do a job that AI can do, either you're going to figure it out first and change your job so that AI works for you, or your boss is going to figure it out first and you're going to lose your job. But just like the steam shovel created more jobs than it destroyed, I believe AI is going to create more jobs than it destroys. But we can't even describe what they are. It's going to be about creating value by fueling the network and helping people get to where they want to go. So if all you do as a radiologist is read X-rays, you're in big trouble because an AI can do that better than you. But if you're able to connect and inspire and educate educate people around you in a way that AI can't, then you can use AI as a tool.
