The number of radiological examinations are steadily increasing so there won't be less radiologist needed but AI is needed to cope with the increasing workload.
AI has much better sensitivity than humans (finding something out of the norm) and humans have much better specificity (basically saying what a certain finding is). So I could imagine AI screening every examination and a radiologist just goes through the findings verifying them. For specific things this is already done for years (eg pulmonary nodules).
