If AI handles diagnostics, human doctors still need empathy, complex ethical judgment, and nuanced communication. Our training would prioritize the irreplaceable human connection and hands on procedural mastery that only we can provide.

Even if future AI replaces 50% of doctors, human doctors will still be very important. Training in human communication, empathy, ethics, and decision-making will always be needed. Doctors also need to understand patients’ emotions, talk kindly, and handle complex cases where AI may get confused. Practical skills like surgery or emergency care also need human hands. So, AI can help, but cannot fully replace the human touch in medicine.

A personal human connection brought out by a human doctor will never be possible by AI. The kind of trust that can be developed in a personal level or giving advice in a personal manner will not be possible as well.
Explaining medical procedures and analysing decisions during the times of uncertainty .
Providing details for consent that all need a human touch.

Yes…a machine can never replace a human.
Natural things are always dominating so yes artificial intelligence can make a work easy to us but can’t replace us.

AI will help to assist the doctors to make their work easier. For example, AI can read the scan reports but the treatment : Surgery or oral medications, can be judged only by the doctor. Because every case is different and needs customised approach.

Even if AI replaces 50% of doctors, core human skills remain vital—clinical judgment, empathy, ethical decision-making, patient communication, and handling complex, nuanced cases. Training must focus on these areas, ensuring doctors complement AI with deep understanding, compassion, and real-world adaptability.

First of all, I don’t think AI can ever replace 50% of doctors, though it can reduce some of the doctor’s work, AI basically provides collectible information and then provides a result based on data provided. However, if we talk about Indian Patients, they generally come with some fascinating names and phrases for their problems, which is sometimes even difficult for doctors to understand. On the perk side, we can say AI plus doctor may result in better diagnosis, but AI will always lack that human empathy and vulnerability to understand a life.

The bottomline should be- AI can never replace doctors, it can second them and make diagnoses more effective and correct.
