Hybrid Threat

Both AI software and physical automation threaten different aspects of this role, creating a compound risk from multiple directions.

AI analysis platforms automate routine laboratory test interpretation and flagging of abnormal results. However, complex case analysis, quality control decisions, and the oversight of automated systems still require trained laboratory professionals. A hybrid risk profile — AI handles the high-volume routine, humans handle complexity.
