> For some reason CS people fixate on radiology for automation just because it is imaging

Precisely because it's imaging. Training data is abundant, and has the potential to be well labelled. And one of the most active field of AI research is... computer vision. So it's no wonder the low hanging fruit would be medical imaging.

> There's a reason a radiologist/pathologist is called a doctor's doctor, and no one in the field is worried about automation.

Spoken like Garry Kasparov.

> For perspective: Training to be a radiologist is 5+1 years, your family doc trains for 3.

What I love is how the immediate knee jerk reaction isn't to explain why the ML approaches won't work but to immediately retreat behind gatekeeping, in this case the tittle and number of years of schooling.
