Perhaps that boundary—between doctor and algorithm—is somewhat artificial to begin with. One idea kicking around the medical literature is to stop treating AI products as if they were merely standard medical devices. Given their humanlike ability to learn new information and tailor answers to individual patients, medical AIs may function more like doctors than defibrillators—so perhaps they should be evaluated in the same way that physicians are. Instead of requiring FDA approval for each and every function it can perform, a chatbot might be asked to pass a medical-licensing exam and undergo a period of supervision akin to a medical residency.

Among currently enrolled college students, 14% have thought "a great deal" and 33% have thought "a fair amount" about changing their major or field of study because of the effect AI may have on the job market or on specific industries

Yuval Noah Harari Historian This is the first time in history nobody has any idea what the world will look like in 10 years — what the job market will look like, what social relations will look like, et cetera. So hedge your bets. Don’t focus on a narrow subject like coding. Give equal importance to your head (intellectual skills), your heart (social skills) and your hands (motor skills). It is in the combination of these three that humans still have a large advantage over A.I.

The percentage of U.S. employees who reported using AI at work at least a few times a year increased from 40% to 45% between the second and third quarters of 2025. Frequent use (a few times a week or more) grew from 19% to 23%, while daily use moved less, ticking up from 8% to 10% during the same period.
