‘I Am Going To Be Applying To McDonald's': Dubai Doctor Fears Losing Job To AI
Last Updated: A pulmonologist in Dubai expressed concern that AI might replace him after using it to analyse X-rays. A surprising claim came from a Dubai-based doctor who joked that artificial intelligence (AI) might replace him. He humorously added that if he loses his job, he might have to apply at McDonald's. Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji, a veteran pulmonologist with 18 years of experience specialising in critical care and sleep medicine, shared his reaction on Instagram. He tested an AI tool by having it analyse patient X-rays to see if the technology could match his medical conclusions. 'So, I am about to lose my job. This is scary because I developed a skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he explained, pointing to an X-ray of lungs. He then turned the screen to show a different scan with two highlighted regions, the exact areas he had used to diagnose the patient's pneumonia. 'Now, here comes AI, and it points it out in a second. So, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays; you just used artificial intelligence. So, I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," he remarked. The doctor, however, praised the technology after it detected an anomaly in a scan that he hadn't noticed. After prescribing medication for the condition, the patient began to improve. 'It's not easy realising your skills need to evolve. AI is coming. I have to admit: AI helped find the diagnosis here," he wrote in the caption of the clip. Watch The Video: Shared on May 20, the video has already garnered over 10,000 views. Other medical professionals and AI enthusiasts, surprised by the pulmonologist's response to AI, shared their reactions. A user suggested, 'AI will enable you to help more people and take more time for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you!" Another user pointed out that while AI can detect abnormalities, it takes a skilled physician to interpret their significance. 'This video is embarrassing. Any competent radiologist would have dismissed the findings even after AI's 'help," the individual said. AI in healthcare is evolving from a supplementary aid to a potentially transformative force. Diagnostic tools like Lunit INSIGHT CXR now match or even surpass the accuracy of human physicians. First Published:

‘Going to apply to McDonald's': Doctor with 20-year experience ‘fears' losing job after AI detects pneumonia in seconds
Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji has joked on Instagram that he may soon lose his job to AI and apply at McDonald's. The pulmonologist, with 18 years' experience, tested an AI tool on chest X-rays. The Dubai-based doctor, who serves at Al Zahra Hospital, wanted to see if it could detect pneumonia like a professional doctor. Surprisingly, the AI pointed out the same spots instantly. It even found something he missed, which helped the patient recover after treatment. 'I am about to lose my job. 'This is scary because I developed the skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he said. "Now, here comes AI, and they pick it up in a second. Now, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays. You just have artificial intelligence. They picked up pneumonia,' the doctor said. 'So, I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," he added. His post received mixed reactions. Some support AI, saying it allows doctors to focus more on patients. Others say AI lacks human judgment and doctors are still necessary for understanding what an issue means. 'AI will enable you to help more people and take more TIME for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you!' commented one user. Another user wrote, 'It doesn't necessarily take over your job, you can use it to greatly save time which you can invest in helping other people or yourself.' Apple is planning to upgrade its Health app with an 'AI doctor' feature. The compahy aims to use artificial intelligence to support health needs, per Bloomberg. Apple is working on Project Mulberry to improve its Health app. As per Bloomberg, the updated app will have an AI health coach that gives advice like a real doctor. It will collect data from devices like iPhones, Apple Watch, earbuds and more. Using this data, the AI will give personalised tips to help users stay healthy. Apple CEO Tim Cook believes Apple's biggest gift to mankind will be in healthcare. Though non-invasive glucose monitoring is still far off, the company wants to use AI to improve users' health and well-being. "If you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and you ask the question, 'What was Apple's greatest contribution to mankind?' it will be about health," Cook said in 2019.

Dubai Doctor Fears Losing His Job As AI Accurately Analyses X-Ray: "Going To Apply To McDonald's"
A pulmonologist based in Dubai was astonished by the accuracy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing diseases. Recently, Dr. Mohammad Fawzi Katranji tested an AI tool's ability to detect pneumonia from an X-ray and was impressed when it pinpointed the same areas he had identified, as well as an additional spot he had missed. The AI completed the task in seconds, a stark contrast to the 20 years Dr. Katranji spent acquiring his expertise. The AI's findings ultimately aided in the patient's recovery. "I am about to lose my job. This is scary because I developed the skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he said in the video, showing his findings. "Now, here comes AI, and they pick it up in a second. Now, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays. You just have artificial intelligence. They picked up pneumonia. I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," the doctor joked. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Mohmmad Fawzi Katranji (@drfawzikatranji) The discussion around AI in healthcare sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some people believe AI can enhance the work of doctors, allowing them to focus more on patient care and less on routine tasks. Others argue that AI lacks the human judgment and nuanced understanding that doctors bring to diagnosing and treating patients, and that AI should be seen as a tool rather than a replacement for medical professionals. One user commented, "AI will enable you to help more people and take more time for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you." Another wrote, "I mean it doesnt necessarily take over your job, you can use it to greatly save time which you can invest in helping other people or yourself." Notably, the role of AI in healthcare is evolving from a supportive tool to a potentially dominant force. AI tools like Lunit INSIGHT CXR are now demonstrating diagnostic accuracy comparable to, or even surpassing, human doctors. Earlier, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had predicted that technology would soon make doctors obsolete, citing the rapid advancements in AI. During a February appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, Mr Gates expressed both amazement and concern about the speed and potential of these developments. He also believes that AI will make expert-level services widely available and accessible for free, potentially revolutionising access to healthcare and other fields.

Dubai doctor says he might lose his job after AI analyses X-ray in seconds: 'I am applying to McDonald's'
A Dubai-based doctor made a surprising claim that artificial intelligence could possibly take over his position and joked about having to apply to McDonald's once he loses his job. Dr Mohammad Fawzi Katranji, a pulmonologist for 18 years who specialises in critical care and sleep medicine, took to Instagram to share his reaction after he used an AI tool to study X-rays from patients to see if the cutting-edge technology could make the same findings as him. "So I am about to lose my job. This is scary because I developed a skill over 20 years, which lets me look at an X-ray and point to pneumonia," he said, while pointing to an X-ray of a pair of lungs. He flips the screen to show another version of the scan, this time with two areas highlighted—the same ones he just pointed out to deduce that the patient had pneumonia. "Now, here comes AI, and it points it out in a second. So, you don't need professional eyes to look at these X-rays; you just used artificial intelligence. So, I am going to be applying to McDonald's soon, and I hope they have some openings," he remarked. A post shared by Dr. Mohmmad Fawzi Katranji (@drfawzikatranji) However, the doctor praised the technology too after it pointed out an irregularity in the scan that he was unable to see with his naked eye. After prescribing medication for the same, the patient started feeling better. "It's not easy realising your skills need to evolve. AI is coming. I have to admit: AI helped find the diagnosis here," he wrote. The comment section of his videos received remarks from other doctors and AI enthusiasts who were surprised to see the pulmonologist's reaction to AI. "AI will enable you to help more people and take more time for each patient of yours. It's a gain and an opportunity and not a threat for great doctors like you!" suggested one user. Another user pointed out that AI only detects an abnormality, but a trained doctor can deduce its effect. "This video is embarrassing. Any competent radiologist would have dismissed the findings even after AI's 'help'," they said. (Also read: Woman files for divorce after ChatGPT 'exposes' husband's affair through coffee)
