21 May 2025 : 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.
