Current AI trend in all major companies is take classic AI - neural networks, Bayesian networks, Monte Carlo -> and than apply cloud scale hardware.

Nothing really impressive has actually come out of AI yet except running old AI on bigger databases and faster hardware.

Take almost any jobs you can think of and reflect of how many of a humans skills are actually needed for the job function that has any value. Now think about whether it would be hard for an AI to learn that function.

What you will find is that radiologist and other highly specialized jobs actually are much easier to replace than say a cleaning lady because it's a job that requires a lot of different skills.

AI doesn' have to be impressive or even come close to being general AI to be a danger to humans and the jobs that require the most of a human are often not the best paid jobs. The will be even less true if humans have to flock to al be cleaning ladies/men.
