Will Physicians be replaced by AI & Robots?

Key findings

GenAI is poised to enhance the work of physicians by streamlining administrative tasks like data entry and scheduling.

It can assist in research, simplify data analysis, and improve decision-making processes.

While it won’t transform the core tasks of treating patients, GenAI will augment efficiency and accuracy in various aspects of a physician’s work, allowing them to focus more on patient care.

How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?

While AI, automation, or LLMs like Chatgpt could potentially enhance certain processes within the role of assisting individuals in therapy, they may not fully replace the human touch required in activities such as providing emotional support, adapting treatment plans, and fostering positive client relationships.

For instance, in the field of helping individuals regain daily living skills, AI could assist in data management, scheduling, or resource ordering, but the personal interaction and tailored support provided by Occupational Therapy Assistants in guiding patients through their rehabilitation journey remains irreplaceable.
