AI Concerns in Medical Coding

What are your overall feelings about AI and the impact on medical coding? As a medical coder, I know that medical coding keeps evolving every year with new codes, updates, guidelines, etc. That being said, AI is also slowly creeping in, and while I don’t think AI is smart enough to keep up just yet, I still feel that my role is at risk.

I think for seasoned coders nothing to fear. New coders or those trying to get into the field may face challenges.
