Data Intensity

Medical and diagnostic laboratories have complex and highly regulated processes requiring specialized human expertise, which limits the total displacement potential by AI. While the industry is data-intensive and shows potential for AI augmentation, significant regulatory and skill-related barriers restrict fully automated disruption. AI will likely serve as an assistive tool rather than a full replacement.
