I think that is a good question and we don't really know yet. I think we are going to have to overhaul a lot of how we educate people. Even if all AI progress stops today, there is still a massive shift in how many professions operate that is incoming.

I agree.

I work in healthcare and if you take a tech view of all the data there are a lot of really low hanging fruit to pick to make things more standardised and efficient. One example is extracting data from patient records for clinical registries.

We are trying to automate that as much as possible but I have the nagging sense that we’re now depriving junior doctors of the opportunity to look over hundreds of records about patients treated for X to find the data and ‘get a feel’ for it. Do we now have to make sure we’re explicitly teaching something since it’s not implicitly being done anymore? Or was it a valueless exercise.

The assumptions that we make about training on the job are all very chesterton’s fence really.

I think this is has already started a while ago with data science. While it might not be as fashionable as before, it's really at the core of many of these jobs where various form of machine learning or generative AI are being used.
