There is a very small chance on automating this job, since chatgpt could get complex enough to think of cures for diseases

Engineers are the ones who made AI and won't let it take their jobs :P

The complexity needed for biomedical engineering is off the charts. Not a chance in hell it's getting taken over in the next 20 years

Biomedical engineers will be the ones to improve the technology in many areas of life. As technology increases, this job will only become more prevalent and still require human insight.

I don't think it will be automated because it's a job that seeks to create knowledge, and for that creativity is needed in the first place. Neural networks would not advance so fast in their evolution as to develop such a level of creativity in a few years.

I believe jobs that require creativity (like engineering) will be off the last to ever be replaced by robots and automatization

Engineering is a creative activity and in this case it combines several areas of knowledge. So in the short term I don't see it likely

I voted "likely" because I think that artificial intelligence will soon be able to engineer bio-medicines in the near future.
