Just weeks after the largest nurses strike in the New York City history, the CEO of NYC Health and Hospitals has a bold vision for a future where AI, not human radiologists, examines and diagnoses X-rays. At a panel held by Crain's New York Business, Mitchell Katz, president and CEO of New York's 11-hospital public benefit corporation, made overt gestures at his desire to replace highly trained radiology experts with visual language AI models, Radiology Business reported. "We could replace a great deal of radiologists with AI at this moment, if we are ready to do the regulatory challenge," Katz said at the panel. One example he gave, according to Radiology, would affect women's healthcare in particular, by automating breast cancer screening with AI tools. By sidelining radiologists until an AI system flags a reading as abnormal, Katz declared, hospitals could achieve "major savings."
