On the Mind with Dr. Daniel Knoepflmacher · On AI and Mental Health: It's Already Here. Are We Ready? · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

I think there are many reasons why it's certainly not a substitute.

We should talk about sycophans and we should talk about the relational aspects of care and knowing when to push and when to support and all these things.

And so I don't think that it's in any way a substitute and it won't be, but I think that parts of psychiatry and other parts of, let's say, non-procedural specialties as well.

Because a lot of it is language based, it is ripe for AI.

One thing that I think is interesting that I came across recently and just goes to show how unpredictable the future can be.

You know, if we were talking 10 years ago, we might say that radiology, in fact, Jeffrey Hinton famously predicted that we should stop training radiologists in 2015 or 16 because we won't need them.

And I think Elon Musk around the same time said that we won't need cars.

All the cars will be self driving cars.

And those were predictions made a decade ago.

And I saw a meme recently that just showed

Radiologists driving in some store, sitting in traffic.

And as I understand it, there are more radiologists practicing in the US today and they are busier than ever and their incomes are higher.

And so we don't know how these things will play out.

I think in the short term, what we can do is, from a medical education standpoint, take a kind of a conservative approach to training, by which I mean it's clear that we should familiarize people with these tools and help them understand.

and the potential of them, but it's not clear what we should stop teaching people or what we should take off people's plate in terms of the types of knowledge or critical reasoning that they need to themselves have.

as they're moving through the the medical training process.

Yeah.

We've talked about cognitive de skilling where you have skills and then they maybe atrophied over time.

I'm also worried about cognitive foreclosure where you never even developed the skills in the first place.

Some of this can sound like an older generation kind of shaking its fist at a younger generation, but I don't think that's entirely true.
