The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in pathology is poised to enhance diagnostic precision and efficiency by automating tasks such as report generation and administrative duties. However, concerns about potential burnout, professional obsolescence, and the loss of meaning in work are emerging. Pathologists may evolve from traditional roles to become co-creators of AI systems, focusing on human-centered tasks while balancing organizational ambitions for productivity. Collaborative approaches and clear communication about AI's expectations are crucial to ensure that the human element remains central in medical practice.
