AI researcher Jason Wei predicts radiology will change over the coming decade, but says radiologists will not be automated away soon, in an X post dated October 19, 2026.

Wei argues AI will first serve as a triage tool, because rare conditions have less training data. He says full automation would take 3-5 years in the best case.

Wei also argues that cheaper scan interpretation will increase demand for radiology through elastic demand, citing the Jevons paradox.
