Diagnoses and treats illnesses and injuries in animals.
Veterinary medicine is diagnostics + surgery + pharmacology, all accelerating toward AI imaging analysis. Computer vision already reads X-rays and ultrasounds better than most vets. Pharmaceutical selection is moving algorithmic. But animal handling, surgery, and judgment calls still require humans. The real pressure is supply-side: too many vet school graduates chasing limited jobs, and pet-owner price sensitivity compressing fees. AI makes existing vets more efficient (faster diagnosis, fewer false positives); it doesn't eliminate the need for the profession.
