On January 19th, the hospital, the law firm, and the tech company were in advanceAIReshapingcareerFuture vision: automating specific tasks, not eliminating the job itself. That's Chief Executive Officer InverdaJen-Hsun HuangThe core views recently highlighted in the podcast programme No Priors。
In this extensive interview, he noted that concerns about large-scale unemployment tended to confuse the “specific tasks” at work with the macro “core values” of jobs. In his view, artificial intelligence changed the way the task was accomplished, while the core value of the post remained the same. This means that this technology may not result in unemployment, but may instead increase the demand for those responsible for results。
Huang In-hoon ' s interpretation is clear: most jobs contain repetitive tasks that can be streamlined by technology, while the core value of the post remains people-driven. He cited the radiology department as an example of this real case。
A number of years ago, Jeffrey Sinton, the pioneer of artificial intelligence, predicted that artificial intelligence would eliminate a large number of radiology posts and advised students to avoid this area. But reality is going backwards: although artificial intelligence has automated many of the missions of radiology, today the number of radiologists is well above the projections made in 2016。
IN 2025, A BLOG POST REVEALED THE REASONS FOR THE HIGH DEMAND FOR RADIOLOGISTS, WITH A SET OF KEY DATA SUFFICIENT TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM: IN 2025, THE NUMBER OF JOBS OFFERED BY THE UNITED STATES DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY INPATIENT TRAINING PROGRAMME REACHED AN ALL-TIME HIGH OF 1208, AN INCREASE OF 4% COMPARED TO 2024, AND THE VACANCY RATE IN THIS AREA ROSE TO A HISTORIC PEAK. IN ADDITION, IN 2025, RADIOLOGY BECAME THE SECOND-HIGHEST-INCOME SPECIALIST IN MEDICINE IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH AN AVERAGE ANNUAL INCOME OF $520,000 (NOTE: THE CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE IS APPROXIMATELY RMB 36.34 MILLION) AND AN INCREASE OF 48% OVER THE AVERAGE SALARY IN 2015 (THE YEAR BEFORE THE YEAR BEFORE THE SINTON FORECAST)。
How did this change happen? Wong In-hoon believes that the core of the work of radiologists is not “reading images”, a task that has been automated by artificial intelligence. The real value of the post lies in the diagnosis of diseases, the provision of guidance for treatment, and the support of treatment through research. When artificial intelligent-assisted clinicians analyse more images more accurately and efficiently, hospitals are able to serve more patients and generate higher revenues, thus justifying more specialists。
Huang In-hoon stated that that logic applied to the entire economic sphere。
"I typed most of the day." He frankly said that typing was a task and was by no means a core value of work. He noted that automated writing tools did not eliminate senior management positions; on the contrary, they tended to expand the workload that managers and staff could undertake。
“I would be grateful if someone could help me with a lot of typing with artificial intelligence.” He said, "But that doesn't make me free. On the contrary, I'll be more busy because I can handle more work."
this “mission vs core values” analytical framework is increasingly emerging in knowledge-based work areas - artificial intelligence tools are accelerating the automation of missions such as script writing, executive summaries and code generation。
Hwang In-hoon cited software engineering as an example: artificial intelligence can reduce the time-consuming nature of the core task of coding, while increasing the demand for the core value of the job, that is, solving problems and identifying new problems that are worthy of attack。
He mentioned that, although artificial intelligence programming tools, such as Cursor, had become widely available among the British engineers ' team, the company continued to recruit. This is due to the fact that productivity increases enable enterprises to advance more innovative ideas, which in turn drive growth and provide adequate funding for the recruitment of new staff。
The legal profession was another example he cited. Reading and drafting contracts is only a specific task, and the core value of counsel is to defend the interests of clients and resolve disputes. While artificial intelligence can accelerate such instrument-intensive work, the true value of the job depends on the judgement of the practitioner, his or her strategy-setting abilities and his or her responsibilities, which depend on experienced and trusted human lawyers。
This logic applies even to the cafeteria attendant. Wong In-hoon stated that the job of the waiter was to record food information, but that the core value of the job was to ensure that the customer had a happy meal experience。
“Even if artificial intelligence takes over the food order and even the delivery, it is the job of the waiter to help us get a good consumption experience.” The CEO added that “they will realign their work accordingly”
Wong In-hoon ' s view is not that artificial intelligence does not have an impact on existing jobs, but in fact, shocks are inevitable. He stressed, however, that the available facts showed that artificial intelligence did not result in large-scale unemployment, but rather a redesign of job functions。
This view is of great relevance to working people: if the value of your work is reflected only in repetitive tasks, artificial intelligence is a direct threat; but if the core of your work is the pursuit of final results, such as disease diagnosis, client experience optimization, problem resolution, conflict mediation, then artificial intelligence is more likely to be your help, which changes the content of your daily work, while retaining the core value of your job。
