As a psychiatrist, the core of your work is the clinical relationship and the medical responsibility for people in vulnerable phases, and that is very hard to automate. AI will become a useful tool for documentation, knowledge lookup and monitoring, but diagnosis, treatment responsibility and the therapeutic alliance stay with you.
Screen / desk work
Much of your work happens face to face with patients, not in front of a screen. Documentation and lookup are screen based and can be automated, but that is a smaller part of the role. The clinical core is protected precisely because it requires human presence.
