I had this talk with my medical friends two years ago. I was telling them that the medical field was not immune, and that robotics and AI will eventually affect their jobs. I even gave them examples of how robotics are slowly getting better in surgeries. One can even perform surgeries across the globe by controlling high sensitivity robots via internet. They told me that human intervention is still necessary, and will continue to be so in our lifetime.

Looking at the advancements in robotics, and AI in the past two years, I don't think his statement will hold much truth very soon.
