HOW AI CHANGES THIS JOBtyping the logic in plain English
01>Start with the real work done by Physicians, All Other.
02>AI can help with: Organize role-specific information and routine work.
03>If a task is repetitive and easy to check, AI pressure goes up.
04>But a person is still needed for: Clinical accountability and hands-on care.
05>Likely result: AI mostly acts as a helper while the core job stays human-led.
06>Important: 8% is estimated task exposure—not a 8% chance of losing the job.
